Hi there

One of my users recently pointed out that on IE8 (I know, an old browser, but we still support it), they get a script error on every page. The script error is being generated from the widget javascript file served from you, so in order to replicate the issue easily I created a simple HTML file with only your Javascript include, opened it in IE8, and I have the same issue.

There error message I receive is "Object required, line 1, char 5834". Attached is a screen shot and also pasted below is the source for the most basic HTML file following the instructions exactly for how to embed your code. Please can you look into this as I would like to stop this error in our production environment.
