Profile Builder plugin- Problem- Help?

What library is it Dale?

I was thinking; for future versions, using SVG files for the profiles? (XML based) Then people can open the profiles in other applications and you can use the .svg itself as a preview in the webdialog. Also, using .svg might make it easier to display thumbnails of profiles in Explorer/Finder?

Cursed! I thought IE7 had added .svg support. But no... it needs a plugin for that.

How annoying. I had plans for making plugins using .svg graphics...

Well ive just uninstalled IE8, and yes the profile has appeared! thank god! and thank you all for your help!

I would of liked to have tried to add the tagg to my webdialog before I uninstalled, but I dont know how to If you could give me step by step instructions I will reinstall IE8 and give it a go because some webpages require IE8 to view (why I upgraded in the first place)

thanks again!

I'm running Windows 7 at the moment, which means IE8, and I will have a look at this to see if I can make some sense out of it.

You have GOT to be kidding. A website requires a beta version of a web browser to be viewed?? Only a Microsoft website would be that stupid.

That's a clear proof of some corporations merely ignoring web standard. I wonder how big the traffic of such a website will be. I even somply exit any website (without bothering to launch in any version of IE) which doesn't run on other browsers. Such a website simply cannot be professional (supposdly even as far as content goes) enough to be worth visiting.

Dale & All

I get a profile but no origin (red dot) ref.

Back to IE 6 and thank you Microsoft for the "New and Improved"

I just downloaded the latest Windows Update (for Vista) which also includes Internet Explorer 8 RC1. The issue seems to be now resolved! Profile previews work perfect for me. Can anyone else confirm?

ProfileBuilder under Windows 7 Beta with Internet Explorer 8 Beta works fine...

In regards to the preview in PB, what about using Flash to draw it? That's supported on all platforms.
And if you make the whole dialog in flash, then you don't have to worry about how different browers render it.
