So far I have had an Outlook style menu bar completely fail to render in IE7 and NOTHING will fix it. Its a frightening time! Start checking and start checking NOW!

IE is just making it's best guess at casting the null into something that makes since to a string. Just out of curiousity, I wonder what would happen if you run the toString() method on a variable that is null. I'm guessing IE kicks back the string "null".
