GF still loads jQuery from the Google library and runs functions without ever activating no-conflict mode, even when the use AJAX option is not selected when inserting the form. This effectively breaks any other JS using another library. All one has to do is add one line of code to footer.php to get it to work (exact same line of code that WordPress uses to activate no-conflict mode when you're logged in so Admin bar functions work without disrupting other JS scripts). But it seems the more responsible thing would be for GF to take care of this on their end... <script type='text/javascript'>try{jQuery.noConflict();}catch(e){};</script> David Peralty on "Forms not dsiplaying in Explorer 8" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/forms-not-dsiplaying-in-explorer-8#post-62312 Tue, 12 Jun 2012 13:00:27 +0000 David Peralty 62312@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ If you go to Settings, you'll see a checkbox for running Gravity Forms in no-conflicts mode. jzsouthern on "Forms not dsiplaying in Explorer 8" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/forms-not-dsiplaying-in-explorer-8#post-62310 Tue, 12 Jun 2012 12:54:27 +0000 jzsouthern 62310@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ This is in fact a Gravity Forms problem that should be fixed in future versions of the plugin. Let me explain... jQuery and Prototype/Scriptaculous (or any other library) can be successfully used on the same site. All that is required is that jQuery is used in "no-conflict" mode, which all the core WordPress JS functions have done by default, and which WordPress specifically suggests any plugin developers should do [ <a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_enqueue_script#jQuery_noConflict_wrappers" rel="nofollow">http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_enqueue_script#jQuery_noConflict_wrappers</a> ]. The fact that such a well-developed plugin like Gravity Forms loads jQuery without "no-conflict" mode enabled is inexplicable and inexcusable if you ask me. However, it would not be a terribly difficult oversight to fix, and would allow other plugins and other custom functions that rely on alternate JS libraries to run without issue...

But Javascript errors in general can cause problems with Gravity Forms because when they occur they can prevent Javascript that isn't broken from executing. Anytime you mix jQuery (which is what WordPress uses) with Prototype or Scriptaculous (which some plugins use) you will run into issues. You should stick with plugins and themes that use jQuery to help minify issues like this.

I'm still trying to figure out why this happened. Do you think it could it be my upgrading to the newest Word Press version? I changed the script you referenced to this, "prototypeTEST.js" to test it and I can see the forms in IE now. I do still get these errors below, (the light box is not working now.) Thanks again for replying, I'm a bit confused about why this hapened and how to make sure it's really resolved correctly.

Your page has multiple script errors showing up in IE and it's breaking your form (conditional logic scripts) so it's not displaying. I copied your form page to my test area and removed this script reference. <code><script type='text/javascript' src='https://valleyviewwinery.com/wp-includes/js/prototype.js?ver=1.6.1'></script></code> Then the forms displayed properly again in IE 8 <a href="http://dl.dropbox.com/u/688846/gravityhelp/winery/order2.html" rel="nofollow">http://dl.dropbox.com/u/688846/gravityhelp/winery/order2.html</a> screenshot: <a href="http://j.mp/h7nx7j" rel="nofollow">http://j.mp/h7nx7j</a> Wisnovsky on "Forms not dsiplaying in Explorer 8" https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/forms-not-dsiplaying-in-explorer-8#post-22852 Fri, 08 Apr 2011 18:23:59 +0000 Wisnovsky 22852@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ Thanks, I also updated the Word Press version (I do this periodically). Do you think this is something that Woo themes can assist with or nobody? I'm not sure where to turn on this one.

The reason why the forms aren't displaying is most likely because they use conditional logic, which uses Javascript to show/hide the fields that should be visible. Because your site has Javascript errors (and none of those are Gravity Forms javascript errors), the browser quits executing Javascript so the form isn't displayed because the browser doesn't run the conditional logic Javascript because of the errors you listed.
