A glance at the HTML source for the page shows some accommodation
for IE 7 and other versions of Microsoft's darned browser:

<!--[if lte IE 7]> ...
<!--[if IE 8]> ...
<!--[if IE 9]> ...
<!--[if gt IE 9]> ...

No other browsers seem to be excepted in the code. I shake my head in wonderment.

Much of such nonsense can be alleviated by using the JQuery open source
library, which is intended to isolate the hapless web developer from the
vagarities of the multitude of browser versions and related quirks.

I could not find a reference to JQuery in the HTML source.
