Still works here. Since the search box changes, the click event handler
is being executed, but apparently the enclosing form isn't being
submitted as it should be. Perhaps a IE expert out there can shed
further light on this.

I think I might see the problem here. The updated get_iplayer.cgi has acquired a DOCTYPE declaration that puts IE into standards mode. In IE9 standards mode, I see the behaviour described above, regardless of the Web PVR version. In IE 7/8 modes and Quirks mode, it works as before. I'm not sure why it worked for me initially, but IE was definitely in Quirks mode when I first loaded the Web PVR. I can't repeat that now, so I must have been hallucinating or something.

There are several options I can think of:

- Remove the DOCTYPE declaration and default to Quirks mode
- Adjust the DOCTYPE declaration to force Quirks mode
- Add a <META> header to force IE9 to use IE8 mode

fs ck: The DOCTYPE declaration was your addition. Does it need to have that particular value for any reason?

Derek - to work around this for now, you can try Compatibility view (Page->Compatiblity View). If that doesn't work for some reason, open the IE developer tools (Tools->F12 developer tools). In the Document Mode menu, select "Quirks mode"
