Workspaces doesn't seem to work right now

The workspaces preview button doesn't seem to work right now. I've tried this on html code previously working. I haven't made any changes. I also have the problem with the javascript basics first program.

The screen just blinks. Nothing else.

Any help would be appreciated Bill

Hi Bill,

Can you post a snapshot of your workspace? I know you said the code was working, but it's good to get a fresh set of eyes to look at something every once in a while. If you haven't made a snapshot before, here's how to do it: http://www.teamtreehouse.com/forum/workspace-snapshots

Here's the link to the project:

This was downloaded with no changes directly from JavaScript basics First program. It also does the same with an empty index file.

Nothing shows up on the screen. It looks like it opens a window, but then closes right away. I tried this with other programs that I know work, but same result. I tried turning my machine off and doing a complete restart, but nothing.

You definitely want to get a hold of the help team to address this: help@teamtreehouse.com

So, when you click on the preview icon, do you get a popup with "hello world"?

It seems to work on Chrome and Firefox. That was a suggestion from the help desk. I told them to close out the item.

Unfortunately for me, I don't like either one of those browsers. Does anyone have any idea on how to get Internet Explorer to work with this?

Anyway, thank you all for your work.

What version of IE are you using?

I'm running windows 8.1 and IE 11

Do you have any add-ons running in your browser?

I went to manage add-ins and disabled everything and still no luck. Are there any others I should look at?

Don't spend too much time on this please.

Thanks, Bill

Sorry, man. I don't have any other ideas. I can't/won't use IE unless I have to mainly because I hate that browser but also because I run Linux and don't necessarily have access to it.
