The widget works fine in Firefox but it completely stops the page from being rendered in IE8.

This is the error report it gives me:

    The problem is a single bug, which is easily rectified, as reported by (horror!) the hyphen site.

    The caveat is, you’ll have to download and host the “widget.js” file yourself to do this (26.7k), but, on the sunny side – you can make fine-grained changes to the widget that the original twitter page doesn’t support.

    This worked for me in IE8. I had been getting the ‘Object doesn’t support this property or method’ js error.
