Last week, Microsoft released the latest version of Internet Explorer 7.    The new browser has a new look and a lot of new features which makes the browsing experience more enjoyable.  Security has also been improved in the latest version of Internet Explorer.  These improvements are good for the user, but offer challenges to us as we develop GiftWorks.

The construction of GiftWorks consists of a number of different development tools, languages, etc. which makes the look and feel of GiftWorks unique to other non-profit software solutions.  A key component to GiftWorks is the use of controls that are provided by Internet Explorer.  Some of the latest changes to Internet Explorer were not compatible with GiftWorks and prompted us to develop an update to GiftWorks to correct these incompatibilities.  Fortunaltely, the changes were minimal and an update to GiftWorks is scheduled to be released sometime during the week of November 6th.

I want to thank Roland, Bruce, and Travis at Microsoft for their help in understanding all the changes to Internet Explorer so that we could quickly resolve the issues with GiftWorks.

Happy browsing...
