Google Viewer IE

I get an error in IE when trying to open a pdf in the Google Docs Viewer. http://xingu.us It works OK in Firefox. Nothing shows in Chrome. Safari and Opera work too.

@daveozric. Thanks for posting. Unfortunately, I don’t have access to a PC at the moment, so I can’t test that out. But I will do so first thing on Monday when I get back to the office from my trip.

However I can tell you that I did test it on IE before releasing it. So, it should work. From the error message it seems as though you may have a security setting on IE that is restricting display in an iframe. I’ll help you more on Monday.

@daveozric. Ok, I just did a quick test on Chrome and IE 9. It showed on Chrome 16.0.912.77 just like it did on Safari.

On IE9, I did notice that it started to load and then went blank. Then after I click on the “Open in a New Window” icon in the top right hand corner, and then close the modal window and click the preview icon again, it works perfectly. I don’t know what the issue is with IE9 and showing Google Doc View in iframe. However, if you do a quick google search on “ie google doc viewer iframe”, you will see that it may be an issue with Google Doc Viewer and IE.
