Not working in IE6 and IE7

[Rodrigo]

Hi!
Anybody have idea why Cufón is not working in IE6 and IE7 (working
well in Mozilla Firefox 3.5.2 and IE8 8.0.7100.0) ?

Doctype: XHTML 1.0 Transitional
Charset: iso-8859-1
Url: http://www.uzume.com.ar/

Thanks!

Hi,

Is there any particular reason why you've commented jQuery out? Cufón
needs jQuery's selector engine for older browsers. Or if you're
worried about file size, you can use a stand-alone selector engine
such as http://sizzlejs.com/. It should work just fine after that.

Also, there's a possibility that some characters may not be shown
properly because you're using ISO-8859-1 instead of UTF-8. But if it
works for you I guess it's OK. Just keep this in mind if you ever spot
a funny character on your site.

Hi,

It's because the file apparently does not even exist. I suggest
downloading a new copy of jQuery or perhaps using the one provided by
Google:

<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.3.2/jquery.min.js
" type="text/javascript"></script>

Hi,

I've also troubles to display the Cufon font in IE6.
It didn't work for me in IE7 either, but after adding the Jquery
reference, that problem was solved!

Now only IE6 gives me troubles. I don't know why, but I tried several
options.

- Jquery
- Removed scripts in webpage (not a good option)
- UTF-8 as encoding

Well, if anyone has another tip, let me know!

Thanks,
Daniel

Hi Daniel,

Any chance to see a live example? Also.. you're not using a
MultipleIE/standalone IE6, are you?

Hi Simo,

I'm using www.xenocode.com to launch an IE6 browser, so on my own pc I
have IE8.
This is an example of the website: http://test.nieuwwerken.nl, created
with Sitefinity (www.sitefinity.com) on ASP.NET.

(it is in dutch, sorry)

Hi Daniel,

It looks like their IE6 is somehow broken. If you go to Help -> About
Internet Explorer, you get this:

"An error has occured in this dialog.

Error: 96
Unspecified error."

Shouldn't happen with a real IE6, right? You site works perfectly in
my IE6 virtual machine, which I got from http://www.microsoft.com/Downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=21eabb90-958f-4b64-b5f1-73d0a413c8ef&displaylang=en
.

Okay, thanks. I'm going to download that machine! -Daniel-

Could this be because of html 5 canvas which is unspported in ie 6&7

Hi Kevin,

Nope. Cufón uses VML for Internet Explorer, and it's installed with IE
by default. If your IE does not support VML, it means that either a)
your install is broken or b) it has been purposely disabled. Some
custom, light-weight Windows installations do not come with VML
support. Or your IT department might have disabled it for some reason.
In cases like this Cufón does nothing at all.
