December 20th, 2013LWMW: Modal Window does not appear correctly in Internet Explorer
Knowledge Base support case for Likno Web Modal Windows Builder, abstracted and stripped of all user’s private info.
Initial Email From: Liliane
Initial Email Subject: Likno Modal Window in Internet Explorer
Support Case Month: August 2013
Hello
All modal windows are perfect in Mozilla Firefox, however, in Internet Explorer 8 only the (x) close button appears and nothing else. The modal window content is External (i.e. on a subdomain) Would it be possible to have a look at the web site and let me know your findings.
Many thanks in advance

Hello Liliane,
The first problem I see it the Linking Code. The Linking Code should look like:
<!-- ******** BEGIN LIKNO WEB MODAL WINDOWS CODE FOR project name ******** --> <script type="text/javascript">var lwmwLinkedBy="LiknoWebModalWindows [1]",lwmwName="auto",lwmwBN="264";</script><script charset="UTF-8" src="likno-scripts/auto.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<!-- ******** END LIKNO WEB MODAL WINDOWS CODE FOR project name ******** -->
And you only have
<script charset="UTF-8" src="{URL REMOVED}" type="text/javascript"></script>
I would recommend you to download and install the latest version of Likno Web Modal Windows Builder.
Then open your modal window project and re-compile it. Re-link it to your pages and re-upload the produced files.
Let me know how that worked.
Also, you may want to change your DOCTYPE to something like:
<!DOCTYPE html>

Dear Aggelos,
Thank you for this quick reply.
The problem was not having the opening tag <html> at the beginning of the external page where the video is embedded.
Everything works fine now
Again, many thanks
Liliane
