Suggestion is either you install IE 8 or do one of the following workaround methods.

---------------

For Internet Explorer 7, use one of the following methods.

Method 1
Add the individual site to Restricted Sites where scripting is disabled by default.

Note This method affects not only scripting but also many other areas of the page, including ActiveX controls, that are disabled or set to prompt for this zone.

To do this, follow these steps:

1. On the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
2. On the Security tab, select the Restricted Sites zone.
3. Click Sites, click Add, and then click OK.

Method 2
Set the Active Scripting to Prompt or to Disabled when you view an affected site for the zone in which the site loads.

Note This setting affects all the sites in the zone and should be set back to Enabled when you browse other sites. Determine what zone the site is loaded under by viewing the lower-right corner of the Status Bar.

1. On the Tools menu, click Internet Options.
2. On the Security tab, select the zone the site loads under.
3. Scroll down to the Scripting section, and set the Active Scripting to Disabled - prevents scripts or to Prompt - prompts user to run or not to run scripts.
4. Click OK.

Arggghhhhh!

Exactly. Looks like I am forced to use IE8! Or use Firefox!
