• Hi,

    First of all, great plugin! Love it! 🙂

    Having a little bit of trouble though, with the shadowbox, it wont work in IE7.

    Work fine in all the other browsers, including Chrome, but in IE7 the shadowbox wont even open…but if I run IETester an IE6 it does, but the movie wont start to play… (although I don’t really trust IETester, but anyway!)

    Here it is, would appricieate if you could take a look, just tell me if you need to see anything more!

    Thanks!

  • The Shadowbox definitely works on all browsers I’ve installed. That’s IE6,IE7,FF2,FF3 and Chrome.

    I got problems with Shadowbox and IE6 on your site, too. I think it’s either the Dailymotion player (did you try YouTube or similar in Shadowbox?) or other scripts blocking shadowbox.

    I’ve set up both a link to youtube and to dailymotion here…

    http://www.nevertap.asia/test-page/

    Non of them play, the shadowbox opens, but the video doesn’t start.

    And there is (shouldn’t) be any other scripts running!?

    And btw, thanks for taking the time! Appreciated!

    Your link results in a 404 error >_>.

    And there _is_ a script disturbing Shadowbox respectively the flash: pageTracker. It modifies links and other objects, so the flash object, too.

    onclick="javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('/outbound/article/www.dailymotion.com');"

    Try disabling the pageTracker plugin.

    Hi again,

    Oh, sorry, only updated the text, not the link, the test page should be here!

    And you where right, there was two more script running, my bad! The cform plugin and the pagetracker for the Google Analytics was active.

    I’ve limited the cform to the two pages using it and disabled the tracking for outgoing clicks…

    …but it still not working, the shadowbox opens, but the movie wont play, same for both youtube and daliymotion.

    I’ve also tried a clean local wordpress installation with ONLY the pb-embedFlash plugin, same thing. Works fine in all browser except IE.

    After doing some research I just can say that Shadowbox and IE often don’t work together. For me, Shadowbox works on my blog with IE, on your’s unfortunately not.

    I don’t know why this happens to some sites/users but as of it works for me and others everywhere with all other browsers, I think it’s not a plugin or JavaScript error/problem – just the browser is crappy :/.

    I don’t wanna be that kinda guy, but I think it is javascript/plugin problem…not saying that IE’s NOT a crappy browser, it sure is!

    I like your plugin, and would prefer using that instead, but now I’m currently running another shadowbox plugin, and then the movies works fine in IE7. …not in IE6 though!

    And again, thanks for your time!

    Shadowbox is not working for with IE even the samples on the Shadowbox web site do not work in IE but everything works in FF.
    I am using the IE8 beat and it did not work in 7 that is why i upgraded to 8 to see if that fixed it.

    With out some fix this makes Shadowbox usless.
