  • 0

I wrote this script awhile back and have modified it to use css sprites to cut down on images. Everything works perfect in ie9 and ff4, however, I noticed it will not show in ie7/ie8… It must be a css or js problem, but I certainly cannot see anything that would be preventing the older ie’s from displaying the code…

I have included the entire contents below in a ‘test’ page which includes everything… if someone can point me out to why this is not working in ie7 or ie8 I would be very grateful!

    You have a comma after the last element of sites:

    var sites = [
    //...
    ['Email to Friends', 'mailto:?subject={title}&amp;body={url}'],
    // -----------------------------------------------------------^
];

    IE6 and IE7 don’t like that. This usually shows up as a null at the end of the array and you end up with a null where you don’t expect one.
