It's not a bug that manifests itself on IE7, the bug is IE7 itself.
"From a Web 2.0 application developers perspective (developers who use a lot of JavaScript and DOM manipulation), IE 6 is plagued by a number of well known problems such as its ability to readily leak memory. Regrettably, Microsoft's next release of Internet Explorer, IE 7, does little to resolve these issues."
I'm a developer as well and you won't believe the amount of time it takes, using various hacks, to make sure IE6/7 doesn't burn and die. Microsoft never follows standards, and that's exactly the kind of stuff that happens when they try to write their own standards.
Besides, IE is just a masked file browser, you know, the default thing in Windows. Hell, the desktop itself is the same thing. And you never know which build/update of IE is going to be broken. There's a huge difference in builds, some things get fixed, others broken. It's not the job of the developers to follow every single build of IE that comes out, and make appropriate fixes (read hacks), for each one of those builds, considering 99% of all other browsers work flawlessly, regardless of version.
Nobody's telling people to "switch" browsers... more like get ONE.

That's kinda mean, the half brain thing. I mean 78% of market share is still Internet explorer. Source Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_web_browsers
But yeah my cousin does use firefox and it's becoming popular. I think I'll research a little bit more on it. Although only the Guild Wars site is giving me problems. No others and it was just recently that this error started.

It's pretty much inferior in every way. So, yeah, telling them to get another browser does help and will no doubt prevent future problems.
