I am having a terrible time trying to get something like the Dow Jones to load in this widget. I am using Firefox 26.0, not sure if it matters. When I try to add 'Dow Jones', it adds just fine. When I save my work, the 2 other stock quotes I have are there. But the Dow is missing. NASDAQ works great. What am I doing wrong?
Same problem here. All other Yahoo quotes work great but ^DJI does not. It is the correct symbol and works fine at finance.yahoo.com
