The follow button does not do anything in IE9

[amabdou]

The documentation says if the browser does not support the required Javascript features, the follow button will show up as a regular hyperlink. In IE9, the button does not do anything. Clicking on it does not link to anything and does not pop up a window like it does in other browsers.

Here is a link to the documentation: https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/twitter-for-websites/follow-button/faqs-follow-button.html

To test, I basically created a basic HTML page with the following code:

Is the button not supported at all in IE9?

Hi @amabdou,

I can’t reproduce this. Follow buttons render a working link for me in IE9.

Please provide more details, a link to the page where it’s not working, code snippets, and screenshots so we can investigate further.

Hi @evansobkowicz, the button renders but is not clickable. I can’t add the code to this post for some reason. I attached a screenshot.

Try creating an embed code through publish.twitter.com. Adding the iframe directly won’t work.

Got it. Thanks @evansobkowicz
