Toolbar Google Gadgets Fail in IE8 Beta 2
Note to Google:
Tool bar Google gadgets are not functioning in the newest beta release of Internet Explorer 8 (Beta 2).
This includes parts of the Google toolbar navigation that depend on gadget functionality. For example the “button gallery” button.
When using a button that calls a gadget it just displays “Loading”.
