Google (plus) +1 button doesn't appear or doesn't work in Internet Explorer 7 Problem

Google recently launched their (plus) +1 button. Like Facebook "Like" button, it's created to make your Google search more relevant, more social and see results that are +1ed by your friends. There's no better recommendation other than your friends'. The more +1 the link result is, the better quality of search relevancy and recommendation is. They are getting more social through their own preferred search engine (Google) and browsers (such as Mozilla firefox). But not with other search engines (such as Yahoo and Bing) and especially with Internet Explorer, Google's competitor.

As I created the Google (plus) +1 button   in my website, I observed that it only appears in certain browsers: Mozilla firefox, Google Chrome, Opera, and Safari (I've never tried using other browsers but if Google +1 button works on other browsers, please kindly post the name of the browsers in the comment below).

When I used Internet Explorer (IE 7), the Google +1 button doesn't appear. Google doesn't support Google +1 button in Internet Explorer version 7.

Let me share to you some problems I've encountered using Google +1 button:
  • It doesn't appear or doesn't work in Internet Explorer (IE 7).
  • Google does support it in Mozilla Firefox, but when you use Yahoo or Bing search engines, it doesn't appear in the search results even if you're using Mozilla Firefox.
  • Google +1 button is very slow to appear or to load in a website if you put the javascript code: <script type="text/javascript" src="https://apis.google.com/js/plusone.js"></script> within your body tag <body></body>. To make it load faster, put it within your head tag <head></head>
I read some info from Google.com and below are the following browsers that are supported by Google +1 button:
  • Windows: Chrome, Firefox 3.6, Internet Explorer 8, Internet Explorer 9
  • Linux : Chrome, Firefox 3.6
  • Mac: Chrome, Firefox 3.6, Safari 4
If you do have other problems using Google +1 button, please do share it with us in comment below. In this way, Google might know some problems that they didn't discovered yet and find solutions to fix them as soon as possible.

I've got a sight (spaldam.com) were the +1 sharing buttion shows up in IE 8, but the same web-site using Firefox 21.0 the G+1 button doesn't show up.

Plus... Why is there so much empty space around the G+1 button?

I have the same issue as Frank; no +1 button in FF5 (on non-google sites) but works fine in IE8.

Hi there,

you asked for sharing problems, so here we go: I added the button on a website (TYPO3 w/ tt_news: some social buttons to appear under a singleview entry, meaning a news entry detail view). With the same code. When i click "+1", the button changes as it's supposed to do.
But if i reload the window, there's no "1" in the counter next to the button (right), even though i'm logged in with my google account. Neither does a message appear in my google+ profile, showing that i plussed the message.

Any comments on this? Did anyone encounter this kind of problem?

Thomas F., Google currently is under a new transition. They have a new Google Apps infrastructure. I also experience the same way. Log-in to your other Google profile.
