[BNM] IE not working!! MS $h*te.....

[Chris Adams]

i have the same problem... ie7... was working *fine* before but now 
doing the exact same thing.
seems temperamental tho as this morning it's ok? i even wondered if a ms 
update had installed something into the system to degrade ie7's 
performance to make me upgrade to ie8.... hmmm.
