Browser specific bug in Search

I just got a bug report about getting an error page on this site when trying to use the search feature. After looking into it, I cannot reproduce the problem using the latest Firefox browser, but with IE7 I get an error page 100% of the time.

I no longer have a machine running IE6 so I don't know if its just IE7 or not. If anyone out there has IE6 and can confirm if this error happens using it or not I would appreciate it. Anyone who finds this error does happen for them in Firefox please let me know, but so far it doesn't happen for me except in IE7.

Update: I also am not able to replicate this bug in IE7 using my local machine http://localhost/mojoportal/

Weird.

Thanks,

Joe

Update Again: In IE7 the error happens I think partly because of the cross page postback from the SearchInput control to SearchResults.aspx. Even more odd, is if I go straight to the page http://www.mojoportal.com/SearchResults.aspx and do a search with IE7 I get no error, but I also get no results.

Update Problem Solved:
It turns out that the cause of this was a little script I placed in my skin from Technorati that was supposed to just link to my technorati profile. Even though I saved my settings on technorati to not include their blog search button it was still doing it. Removing their script fixed the problem that was happening in IE when trying to do search on this site.

New Release Coming Soon

I just updated this site to the latest code for final testing before making a release, hopefully tomorrow or the next day.

You'll notice the new SiteStatisticsModule shown on the left side of the homepage. I borrowed the images for that from the DotNetNuke project, but the implementation is not based on theirs.

Any last minute testing that anyone can help with is much appreciated. The demo site is also running the latest code so you can easily help test there and let me know if you find any problems.
