OOooooh, Jim, you would not believe the rabbit hole that Windows COM turns out to be. I have nearly all the tests working under IE 7+, except for form submission. Every few weeks I get some time to look at it again, bang my head against the wall, and realize I still don't understand what's happening under the hood well enough to diagnose the problem. Then I do some more research, learn some more, resolve to fix it next time I get some time - and the cycle repeats.

I am making progress, and now that I've seen this post, I feel like maybe I should finish the tech article I'm working on now, and devote at least tomorrow to the next iteration of that cycle.

Although I note that you don't actually need form submission! So definitely, tomorrow I will at least package up the working copy I've got right now and make it available for download. Until I can submit forms, I obviously don't want to submit anything to CPAN yet.
