First I would like to thank you for all the work you have done on these players. They have been very useful over the years.
After testing your samples in Internet Explorer 7 it appears that the player is unable to 1. pop up & 2. Display the image, text etc.
Considering the fact that 68% of the world uses Internet Explorer as their default browser, it would seem that this is a serious limitation. Is there a workaround for this such as changing the security settings in Internet Explorer?
