The issue is not the browser.  If you think it is, then you are using the 
browser as an incorrect, bad excuse for poor and inept coding.  If you need 
a browser to cover up your coding, the problem also exists with anyone who 
supports bad coding, too.

Elizabeth has no control over her corporate home page and she has already 
told them of the problem.

However, it's still not fixed, and from a professional point of view, this 
is totally unacceptable.  If this has been going on longer than 24 hours, 
for me, this is a no excuse-you're fired issue.  The corporate web team 
should be terminated and replaced with Elizabeth.  No, wait.  The *boss* of 
the corporate web team should be fired and replaced with Elizabeth.  :)
