Re: [Treebase-devel] Incompatibility with Internet Explorer 7

[Rutger V. <rut...@gm...>]

I'm downloading vmware right now, I still have an xp vm that I used
for coding previously, so I should be able to debug the JavaScript
soonish. I know that the prototype js library we're using for dynamic
GUI elements needs to be used with a bit more care in ie than other
browsers (because Element cannot be extended in the same way). I've
tried to be dilligent with it, but I obviously don't always have an
extra virtual machine running just to check how Internet Explorer
decides to break the rules this time.
