0 Cupcakes Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Don't forget it IS a beta for a reason.. That being said, go over: http://www.hanselman.com/blog/IE9SiteSpecificBrowsersAndAddingYourOwnJumpListItemsToPinnedTabs.aspx Ensure everything is spelled correctly and that you are using the correct URLs, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 DrJohnSmitherson Posted September 15, 2010 Author Share Posted September 15, 2010 Unless I am missing something, it should be all correct. I checked Facebook and their jumplists weren't working. Bing didn't change the color of the back button, so I guess it's glitched. This makes me really sad! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 winlonghorn Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 It is working for me. That is odd. :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 DrJohnSmitherson Posted September 15, 2010 Author Share Posted September 15, 2010 Is it workin for you from my website? If so, would you mind posting a screenshot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 the better twin Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Is it workin for you from my website? If so, would you mind posting a screenshot? iv figured out it only works for me if you have a working image for the task items ie this bit ;icon-uri=http://thebettertwin.co.uk/wp-content/themes/tutorial/favicon.ico so the full code for my beta site (check out the code on beta.thebettertwin.co.uk) would be <link rel="shortcut icon" href="http://thebettertwin.co.uk/wp-content/themes/tutorial/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon" /> <meta name="msapplication-task" content="name=Blog;action-uri=http://beta.thebettertwin.co.uk/blog;icon-uri=http://thebettertwin.co.uk/wp-content/themes/tutorial/favicon.ico" /> <meta name="msapplication-task" content="name=Portfolio;action-uri=http://beta.thebettertwin.co.uk/portfolio;icon-uri=http://thebettertwin.co.uk/wp-content/themes/tutorial/favicon.ico" /> <meta name="msapplication-task" content="name=Contact;action-uri=http://beta.thebettertwin.co.uk/contact;icon-uri=http://thebettertwin.co.uk/wp-content/themes/tutorial/favicon.ico" /> <meta name="msapplication-starturl" content="http://beta.thebettertwin.co.uk" /> <meta name="application-name" content="thebettertwin" /> <meta name="msapplication-tooltip" content="thebettertwin" /> <meta name="msapplication-navbutton-color" content="black"/> so check your file paths and see if that works maybe?
