Hi jd, I think you left out the most germane part of my statement... "This was not a problem in IE5.5, IE6, or your previous IE7 Beta issue" You see, my site has developed a technology based on the above expectations. If MS does not follow through, then they will have another legal problem(me). I guess you understand that MS has a competing technology that may provide an unhealthy spin to how they address the above. I promise you, this in not going be an easy bug to swallow for MS if they the do not solve this situation.
