Short of spending some time building a test suite for it, my best
guess is that the library depends on a bug in Internet Explorer which
is fixed in version 8. The rules for triggering Standards or IE7
Emulation mode are quite complex (and include such things as the IP
address being on a LAN rather then that Internet!), so it is possible
that you were testing in Emulation mode to being with.

The emulation mode is a pragmatic, but horribly unintuitive, approach
to let authors keep their code working in IE until they make it better
conform to web standards — labeling this "devolution" is unfair.
