The HTML5 output looks good on FF but will not display on IE9, built in WIN7. Any clue? Suggestions?

IE9 does not support HTML5 :evil:
Use Flash output either totally or as fall back.

That it may be for experienced users like us. But it is still the #1 PC browser throughout the world.
People buy a PC turn it on and IE is the browser. Lots and lots of panorama viewing public (or business) never get past this point.

Based on that yes, just! But not in Australia.
Do we trust or even believe that? I don't know a single person locally that uses Google Chrome as their browser of choice.
Anyway regardless, even if IE is second that is still a HUGE market.

After doing some research...IE does not "support" HTML5 tags, such as <nav> or <section>. However, this stuff is mostly CSS, javascript, and images. Doesn't need those tags. No?

The HTML5 version will work on iPads but I still need a version to work on IE. :(

We use "HTML5" as a shortcut, for a bunch of new technologies used to display panos but one of two key technologies is especially critical to make panoramas work; CSS3 3D Transforms or WebGL.
On the linked pages you can see that browser support is now at ~60%, and growing. I think QTVR was never above 70%, back in the days.
The good news is, that Internet Explorer 10 also supports CSS3 3D Transforms, so finally all major browser are able to show panos without Flash. Please note: Only Pano2VR 4 supports Internet Explorer 10 as Microsoft uses a different way of implementing this feature.

Thank you all for the feedback. :D In order for me to troubleshoot, what specific items are required for it to work so I can check for them.
