Also, look at this JavaScript discrepancy: http://peregrin.jmu.edu/~johns2ja/discrepancy.htm Lookie Here! Try It!
IE Settings • Follow the steps for browser configuration at http://isapps.jmu.edu/tutorials/browser/ • Especially be mindful of clearing the cache (history, offline-content, files, and cookies).
