Hey Bruce,
Yep, Its not a lot to go on.  I havent tried to duplicate it in any of the examples, but will see if i can find one that comes close.
I am using ie8 on win7.  
I am going to try it on some other versions of ie and see if that makes a difference.  So far no problems on iphone, android, firefox, chrome, or safari.  It all works fine there.  I was hoping it would just be some quirky setting i had on ie.
I'll keep playing with and let you know if i find anything...
Thanks
