Feeds inaccessible in Internet Explorer 7

We have built the above widget, and the feeds are fine in Firefox and Chrome, however on IE 7 all of the feeds are inaccessible with the exception of Jobs.

Inappropriate?Hi Chris,
I'm thinking that you're reaching the Query String length limit since your feed URL's are so long. IE has some whacky limits. I'd suggest using feedburner to burn your feeds and update the blidget accordingly. You may see better luck that way.
In the meantime, we'll discuss ways that we can better work around this issue in the future.

Chris, I have this same issue but am unclear using it with feedburner. How do I go about that? -

Inappropriate?Hey Dave. I managed to create a feedburner account and update my widget. I am able to view the widget in IE7 now but it seems like the script created an additional frame on the page when I test it with chrome and firefox. Also, I'm still unable to view the widget in IE7 when I use the flash embed code. Thanks for the guidance! -
Inappropriate?Hi William,
I'm unclear on what you mean by created an additional frame. Can you post a link so I can see where you have this installed?
It'd be good if you could post all of your info: feed URL, location of installed blidget, etc.

Inappropriate?Sure. The url is http://www.smileliberia.org/Volunteer. It created a scroll bar at the end of the page when I view it in chrome and firefox. Thanks for the help.

Inappropriate?Wow... that's some interesting HTML you have going on with that page. The scrollbars are just that the frame has overflow once the widget is there. The easiest way to resolve this is to add overflow:hidden to your div "idPrimaryContentBlock1ContentHolder"2 Comments Add a comment

Hi Dave. Thanks for the feedback. I'm still puzzled why I'm not able to view the flash embed code in ie7. I used feedburner to shorten the rss url but I am still seeing the same error. Please advice. I think the flash embed will work better on the page.

Hey William,
Wanted to give you an update here. We found the weakness in IE7 causing this to happen and are currently working on a workaround to make things play a little nicer when in the flash wrapper in IE7 with a blidget.
