I've just installed IE7 and I can already see a major bug relating to embedded videos:

When you click on the embedded video thumbnail, or when you click on the title of that teaser (if it is pointing at the node, rather than the external link), what will happen is that you'll be brought to a semi-broken node page and IE7 will display a popup error 

               "Internet Explorer cannot open the Internet site http://example.com/node/124.  
                
                                     Operation aborted

                                                    OK

This happens for the embedded YouTube videos (I don't have any other videos posted on my site yet, so I don't know how other's are appearing)

I also don't know how things are with IE6

Hi,

Drupalina, can you please reproduce the problem in http://www.drigg.org?

reproduce how?

You mean post a YouTube video?

I posted a video on Drigg.org http://www.drigg.org/Various/Penguins_Linux_Ad
I can access it alright with no problems on IE7. So it must be something on my site that is causing it....

Hi,

Yes. I think it's likely to be a theming issue with your site.
The best thing to do is compare drigg_theme with your site, and find where the differences are.

yes,
I did switch back to drigg_theme and that node opens no probs in IE7.

Is there anything in Drigg theme (not mentioned in Instructions) that makes it okey with IE7 ???
When modifying my original Marinelli theme I followed those instructions like religiously. If there's any omitted aspect of theme modifications pertaining to embedded content, they should be included in the instructions.

Hi,

One thing that changed was the link management, since Drigg now allows "local" stories to be added.
For example, now the theme contains:

...
 <?php if( drigg_url_is_local($node) ){ ?>
        <h2><?php print $title; ?></h2>
      <?php } else {?>
         <h2>
           <a href="<?php print drigg_link($node) ?>"><?php print $title; ?></a>
         </h2>
      <?php } ?>
...

And:

...
 <?php if (! drigg_url_is_local($node) ){ ?>
        <small><?php print theme_format_url_home($url); ?> &ndash;</small>
      <?php } ?>
...

However, if you are not allowing local URLs, then there is no need for these extra functions.

There was a _lot_ of work, in general, to make everything work in IE7.

* I don't have Explorer 7
* We really, really don't have the resources to debug individual themes

So, will mark this as won't fix in 24 hours.

Merc.
