Hi Byron,
Thanks for the feedback on IE7. I haven't been able to get access to
that yet so your comments help greatly.
When running GN as an end user on IE6 I get the problems noted at the
start of this thread, e.g., not being able to the Geographic Search.
The Simple Search seems to be OK, but with Advanced Search I have the
"graphic artifact" noted in my initial post where the pulldown for
keywords is overwritten by one of the Where fields. In general, as you
probably noticed, it appears that in IE the data entry fields and field
labels don't align as nicely as they do in Firefox.
I don't yet do much in admin mode. I imported some metadata via batch
mode and then went back and imported the thumbnail. That worked OK.
So for me in the context of IE problems and at this point in my testing,
other than the cosmetic things with the worst being the pulldown list
being overwritten by the Where field, the biggest thing is not having
the graphical search ability or the ability to run Intermap. Even
though I mentioned Opera in my original posting, Opera accounts for less
than 1% of our total browser use. It is something that I use to test
site compatibility. However, I would like to see GN run better on IE
than it currently does. Even though I'm not a developer, I do work with
a number of developers, so I can share some of Andrea's pain getting the
code to work with IE. Hopefully some of these bigger issues can be
ironed out at some point.
Regards, Bob

I just loaded IE 7 to test this. The map still will not display.
This is a problem for me since all of our organization uses
IE. Not my choice and unfortunately out of my control. I
have had no problems running GN 2.03 on IE. What are there
other issues (artifacts) other than map display that do not
work on IE? If it is only administrative tools that have the
problems and not query tools (other than the map) I may be ok.
