WDL not displaying in IE7

I have WDL installed here http://home2.btconnect.com/brettoliver/Kenley_Weather.htm
I found the page worked OK in Firefox but not in IE7.
I had to disable Java JRE 1.6.0-072 in “Internet options, advanced” to get it working in IE7.

Anyone else found this?

Brett,

Works great for me in IE 7 on Vista however in FireFox 3 it is really small and unreadable which is a known FF issue and searching these forums should reveal a couple of possible reasons…

Have you got Java JRE 1.6.0-072 in “Internet options, advanced” enabled?
Brett.

yes I do
as I need that for viewing nexstorm

My IE is set to “Use JRE 1.6.0 for ” enabled. FWIW must be the default setting as I never messed with any IE settings as that isn’t my primary browser…

Funny problem this. I have just re-enabled my java and my site works!

I still can’t see WDL on this site with IE7 (Vista) http://www.myway.de/honsolgen/ all I see is a box above the meteohub dashboard .

In Firefox it works fine.

Brett,

http://www.myway.de/honsolgen/ is broken due to using the Old WDL coding method and not having the correct code for both FF and IE which in the old code had to be entered in two places.

They should update and start using the new WDL HTML code which should fix the problem…

Thanks for that Bob.

It appears that the issue may be on your website.

Thanks for that. I seem to remember reading somewhere that Firefox has problems showing WDL/Flash items.

If it is not too much bother could you try it again on this link?

This is just a full screen WDL with nothing else on the page. My main link has WDL in a table.

Brett,

http://home2.btconnect.com/brettoliver/wdl.html works fine and full sized in FF…

Here are some links to other FF small WDL posts:
