Web slices not loading in IE8

Question

I'm trying to add a webslice to a site i admin, but for some reason i cant get any webslices at all to work in ie8. I have tried 2 different machine at home and one at work but i hit the same problem, i just get an 'ie cannot display this page' error.

If i hit the diagnose problem button i get a script debug error:

Line: 264 Error: Object doesn't support this property or method

I get exactly the same error on every different slice, even down to the line number. Anyone any ideas?

Edit - By a webslice i am talking about new functionality that came with ie that lets you ad part of a webpage (say the div containing news) to your links bar. The when you click on the slice it expands to show you the content of the slice.

Answer 1

Try this: http://www.code-magazine.com/Article.aspx?quickid=0811052

It's a pretty down-and-dirty explanation of how to make them. My guess is that you're just not formatting them right...

Good luck!

I have finally managed to find the answer! There seems to be a bug with the full version of ie and google gears. If you disable the gears ie add on they work again! - http://support.microsoft.com/kb/969213
