The start/stop buttons use the IE-only window.event thingie.

Curious: what exactly is the "IE-only window.event thingie"?
Are you saying that: Once the web site knows that the browser in use is 
Mozilla/Firefox/Opera/Mac OSX Safari, etc., that "I.E.-only" data is therefore: 
never transmitted?
Or: does Mozilla receive all of the same information that I.E. receives, but 
then mishandles the display?

URL is 404. It's obvious there was at one point a TE bug here, but I'm going to assume the redesign they've done since then fixed it.
