Google Voice Call Me Button in Internet Explorer is Broken

16 June, 2010 22:04 CST6CDT

It appears IE 7 and 8 are implicitly blocking Google Voice's embedded "call me button".  For you IE users, this site has been non functioning while us Firefox, Chrome, Opera, or other Gecko like web users had no difficulty.

It looks as though IE is blocking cookies from Google Voice.  It would not allow me to forcibly change this policy.  I verified this with a 3rd party.  I decided to remove this Flash application.  I did ponder on the thought of restricting all IE users, though came to the conclusion that this would get me no where.

How long has this been going on?  Any followers have a clue?  I have not used IE for many months.  The embedded object was working fine in IE the last time I checked however.  Had this happened in a recent Windows update?

Microsoft is asking for trouble with this one.  This is still a little fuzzy.  If anyone has any pertaining information to that embedded Flash and the cookie URL location block, hit the comments.
