That's strange. The repository has public write access. Anyway I added
you as a developer. Contact me if you have any further problems.

Done. I made some small changes.

Welcome to the real world. IE is the scourge of web development. It is
the browser with the worst standards support. With IE 7 things are a
bit less bad than in IE 6 but still worse than anywhere else. If you
consider doing specif stuff for IE consider conditional comments. They
work really reliably.
