WDL not working with MS Edge

Has anybody managed to get WDL working with MS Edge browser?
I have tried all the MS recommended settings but still cannot get it to work on either of my two sites or any others I have tried.
See example here http://monadh.com/nbl.php
Any ideas would be appreciated.

My WDL is working OK here with Edge on my PC, go into settings top right hand (three little dots) side of Edge page, then click on settings, then click on advanced settings, then turn on use “Adobe Flash Player” see upload.

teal,
I have already enabled Flash as you suggest. It must be some other setting as your live site will not load in my Edge browser.
Have you altered/enabled any other setting, and can you load my site in your Edge?

It is not Flash, but another error:
Console:
swfobject.js Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found)

HTML:

   var so = new SWFObject(versionOfWdl+"?"+pathToWdlconfig, versionOfWdl, widthOfWdl, heightOfWdl, "8", backgroundColourOfWdl);

So it is not working on any browser I have here. Not on Edge/IE or Chrome.

Thanks Wim,

I had renamed the js file in my attempt to solve the Edge problem.
I found the cause after your comment as Safari showed the problem, but the other browsers were using a cached version of the file.
Unfortunately this does not solve my Edge problem.

You are running a relative old version (1.4.4) of swfobject.js
You could try to use the 2.2 version from Hosted Libraries  |  Google for Developers
Replace in your script NB/nblive.html the line

<script type="text/javascript" src="swfobject.js"></script>

with

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/swfobject/2.2/swfobject.js"></script>

SORRY, will not work either, version 2.3 is needed according to Adobe.

So you have to remove swfobject and use the plain FLASH commands.

It is much easier to debug for us outsiders, if you give, next time, a real link to a problem-page, not a page with the problem hidden in an iFrame. This is the real link this time : http://monadh.com/NB/nblive.html

Thanks Wim,

Sorry I did not post the direct link causing the problem.

Not sure how to:- “So you have to remove swfobject and use the plain FLASH commands.”

Do have an example or link to one?

flash now has a date not far in the future where it will not work at all
so might be a good time now to setup the steel gauges

(I have a youtube video on how to do that)

or setup meteotemplate on your web site, where you can easily setup to use the steel gauges

That works for me too in Edge.

However, even after enabling Java and Flash in the latest version of Chrome (60.0.3112.90) I had to specifically allow my own WDL site.

Thanks Brian,
I have taken the plunge and now have the Steel Gauges basically working for both my sites.
When I have cleaned them up I will use instead of WDL

:hello1: :occasion5:

Used to work for me in Edge, even with swfobject, but not in the latest incarnation in Win 10 version 1709: now it seems you have to specifically allow each site to use Flash.

Try this

Thanks. I had eventually worked out how to do it!

Finally got it fixed using 2nd option :smiley: in attached link the first option did not work for me :frowning:

you could always look into the new fresh WDL

I have! It’s working well, even on IE11 now.
