Hello,
I just had a look and see initially that certain aspects of the Galaxy
UI don't show up or don't look right in IE 7, e.g. in the history pane
the underlying link on the name of each data object to expand it isn't
there.
Is IE 7 supported? I dislike IE and don't use it otherwise but am
forced to use it in my environment as it's part of there standard
client image and it is almost impossible to get another browser like
Firefox installed for every user that will use Galaxy.
best,
Leandro

New subject: user interface aspects don't show up right or look right in IE 7
Hello Leandro,
Galaxy is not currently compatible with IE7 or IE8 due to quirks in
their DOM and Javascript implementations. We are working to add support
for IE7/8, but this is time-consuming and hence it will take a while to
get all tools/areas functional. If your team plans on using Galaxy, we
strongly recommend moving to an alternative such as Safari, Firefox, or
Chrome.
Even so, the basic analysis workspace should display fine in IE, so the
problem your report with the history pane is unexpected. We'll look into
this - thank you for reporting it!
Best,
Jen
Galaxy team

Folks who have to stay on IE for institutional reasons (I can't think of
a reason why anyone else would) could be supported using Google Chrome
Frame http://code.google.com/chrome/chromeframe/
The galaxy crew would just need to add this tag to the <head> section of
rendered pages:
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="chrome=1">
Or in their Apache config add a line like this:
Header append X-UA-Compatible "chrome=1"
Then any IE users who install the chrome frame plugin could keep IE and
still get full galaxy functionality
