Hi.

I've got SRF 1.4.5 and the exhibit format does not seem to work at all 
with IE 6 and 7. I get operation aborted crashes.

Microsoft says this problem occurs because a child container HTML element contains script that tries to modify the parent container element of the child container. The script tries to modify the parent container element by using either the innerHTML method or the appendChild method.

Unfortunately I cannot force the UK Civil Service to upgrade half a 
million PC's to IE 8!

It's going to be a very long while before everyone upgrades to IE 8. In the meantime IE 6 and 7 users cannot use any SMW sites that use Exhibit format queries.

Thanks
Neill.

This is actually a fault with the OntoSkin3. If Monobook is used the exhibit query runs okay.

Plus Fabian did a load of fixes! :)
