Hi Dan,
Thanks for your continued help on this
Upgraded to the latest Toolbar and now I can confirm that it works on
Internet Explorer (although the links are trying to open the canvas
view as you mentioned, whereas it should really try to load the
default view which contains no links that call the canvas view).
However, we didn't have luck with the latest version of the Toolbar
for Firefox (using version 6.1.20091007W). So,
- IE works, but Firefox doesn't
- IE works, but loads the home view; ideally it should be
loading the default view (as in other containers with no canvas view
support)
Also let us know if you have any breakthrough on the syndication
(embedded gadgets) issue.
Thanks
