Google Gadgets in IE6
We use a number of Google Gadgets on our wiki to display a weather forecast, currency converter, calculator etc. They display fine in Firefox, but on IE6 they don't show when the page loads.
If the page is refreshed after it loads the gadget is then shown. I added the same gadgets to our website just to see if it was a general IE problem or confined to the Wiki and the gadgets were fine in IE6 on the web. I know of at least one other pbwiki user who has the same problem. I wonder if anyone else has had the same issue and if anyone found a workaround/fix?
Many thanks
Sharon

Inappropriate?Sharon,
Thanks for the report - is this by any chance a private wiki? There's a good chance MSIE is refusing to load the gadgets (which want to be over http - the 'insecure' protocol) when they're embedded in a page that's coming from PBwiki via https, the secure protocol.

Inappropriate?Yes it is a private wiki. Although the gadgets load ok if you refresh the page once it is loaded.
Is there any way around this, or is it something we just have to live with? -
Inappropriate?I don't think this is related to PBwiki. This seems to be an IE6 thing.
We added the Google translator gadget to our pages:
http://www.oah.dgs.ca.gov/
No problem with IE7, Firefox, Chrome ... but IE6 will not display it until the page is manually refreshed.
Re caching: using "back" will display the gadget, but clicking a link to a page visited recently (so it must be cached) still requires a refresh for the gadget to display.
So far, no luck with this on the pertinent Google forum.
