I think the problems are twofold:
1) If it's an IE problem, then we really need an updated SmartTree that works in all browsers.
2) The specific problem I mention was actually after I wrote a script in a text editor, pasted it into the ASP content class shell, and saved the file. The quotes got removed before I published the script, and the missing quotes triggered server error 500s.
Jian just asked me for a screen capture. So I sent him a movie. Yes. I am the JJ Abrams of technical communication.
