on my website cresby.com I use the status line to alert people to the day of the month (eg 3rd Fri), but still allow URLs to be displayed.

Which I took great pains to get working on three different browsers and assumed that the different versions thereof would behave similarly. Not so IE7. Security issue? who knows.

As a result of playing with different ways to do job I switched-on the debugger in IE7.

Now every website I look at (including the 'Cat) delivers a JavaScript error and I visit some pretty switched-on commercial sites from work. All of them throw an error and on a lot of their pages too. OK they don't prevent usage visibly but then the webmasters only respond when the problem is seen or told to them. But there are a lot of JavaScript errors and nearly all because of IE7.

If anyone knows any web sites that list the defecated instructions (deprecated they might have been but it is past that stage now) I would appreciate a few clues. I still use Mozilla 1.7.8 and IE5.5 at home as a baseline - you never know who is still relying on legacy systems.
