I checked out your pages and did notice the exact same thing too. The Google example displayed in Firefox but not IE first time, same with on your pages.

I tried to recreate it but had no luck at all, both using Google Pages or my own site.

For me it seems to work in both. <scratches head> The only difference is there is no other content on the page loading when I tested it.

Dann, from this group suggested to me to try using &nocache=1 in the url to prevent the gadget from being cached (or using the cached version). Maybe the gadget is loading faster because its cached, but the inner content doesn't display/load as fast. I have heard that Firefox renders/loads the pages a little differently then IE does.

"To disable caching in the creator page, add "nocache=1" to the URL."

Who knows, just a thought. 8)
