Same thing here with IE7, and one other small browser called "Offbyone", when you look at the Title of the browser window I see this "!-- InstanceBeginEditable name="title" -->title<!-- InstanceEndEditable --", which suggests there may be a problem with the way the code is interpreted, at least in the less successful browsers?

The site's Home Page seems to resolve correctly. You could try this tool if you like.

Just correcting my link to "User Agent String Utility version 2"

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...9c-3c0d-47fe-bd04-fad82a9aac9f&displaylang=en

It didn't make any difference to that site when I tried it. It does mention this however, "The utility comes in the form of a small executable that opens an Internet Explorer 7 instance that emulates Internet Explorer 6 by sending the Internet Explorer 6 user agent string. It also provides a mechanism for you to report problem web sites to Microsoft so that we can follow up with the affected site owners". Although I'm not quite sure how or if that paragraph still applies?

You could try the Browser forum.

Microsoft monitor their newsgroups and offer support for IE7, that is one way of airing your concerns.

The other way is to use a product that works for you and avoid IE7.

That page resolves OK for me. So at least I "know joy... " with that page.

I still do not "know joy..." with that page however.
