Thanks for the report, Adam. With IEs4Linux I could see that there was an error in IE7, but not what the error was.

You r most welcome! Is there any way I can get more involved in helping
you with bugs/testing versus reporting bugs I happen to find in my
casual use of the site (which I will certainly continue, and I
appreciate your positive feedback - it sort of sucks when you take ten
minutes to try to be helpful & never hear another word back).

I came to launchpad in my quest to get "rapidly" up to speed with
ubuntu/Open Source after 10 years doing MSFT IT Stack web and DB
development. I have not been this excited and having so much fun
"computing" and learning in many years - perhaps lost site a bit of what
so took me when I first started and left smith barney in '94 after
hearing real audio pre 1.0 stream over a 33.3 modem and had a vision in
that instant that changed everything for me. It is the collaborative
intellectual curiosity and problem solving, and the gifted people one
can meet in this pursuit, that has held me fast.

I'm good at user centered design and test, very thorough, very
organized, full SDLC enterprise and commercial software experience,
trying to adapt to the new paradigm, and having so much fun! Lol I never
realized how much I missed the command line! If I can help in any way as
I work the learning curve, or if there are tasks that would help me
learn even though they may be trivial or scut work, let me know.

best of luck to you!

an error in IE7, but not what the error was.
