Heh. I suspected you must have "changed" something when I saw your other
reply. I rechecked and yes, it now works with IE7. You now however have a
javascript error.

A page can be perfectly valid and still be "broken" as far as real world
browsers are concerned. Serve XHTML to IE. True, it is actually the browser
that is broken but the viewer does not perceive this. The bit they are
looking at (the page) is the bit that is broken, just like your TV. If your
TV remains black then you usually have a broken on/off switch.
