# [Plugin: AddThis] Code error for IE

 * WP 3.0.3
 * Addthis plugin is inserting a piece of code that cannot be digested by IE.
    These
 *     ```
       <br />
       <script type="text/javascript">//<!-- var addthis_product = wpp-250';
       var addthis_append_data = 'true';var addthis_language = 'de';</script>
       ```
   
 * are the lines that IE is getting hick-ups over and in response refuses to load
   anything that’s coming later in row, i.e. the sidebar.
 * I think, the error is on line 340 of addthis_social_widget.php

 * Andreas,
 * Hmm. Can you tell me if the same problem occurs in the development version?

 * Didn’t have a look at the development version yet, but I think it’s just a misplaced“–
   >”. Illiterate in coding as I am, I have only a most rudimentary understanding
   of these coding things. But the opening “<!–” is given in a line that looks like
   a proper command whereas the closing “–>” is just hanging around without being
   told where to go.

 * Yeah — we think we have a fix in the development version, but various blogs work
   differently. It’d be great to confirm in your case that replacing the plugin 
   with the dev version resolves the issue!
 * Best,
    Matt
