Earlier today I mentioned the chat widget we have setup on the site now; I had it brought to my attention that using IE8, all you get is an error message in that spot. So i fired up my Windows 7 VM, launched IE... and there it was:

If you scroll enough, the text is even more exciting - it makes it sound like I've decided to make it not work. Anyway - anyone have a solution to this? The chat widget comes from Google - they hand you some code in an iframe to embed. Anyone know of a way to get this to work in IE8?

Update: It's not just IE. It's a Google bug - both IE and Safari act the same way. Firefox probably should block it, given the flaw. Looks like I'll have to yank the widget until it's fixed :/
