Original Body: IE7 (and in some cases IE6) shows "IE cannot display this webpage" when submitting a form. This is a known IE bug with redirects returned from POST in certain circumstances.

This occurs in unmodified TG2 quickstart when tw.dojo is added into it. Layout bugs occur even without tw.dojo.

IE8 seems to have fixed the redirect problem. The layout bugs show up in it.

Screenshots using IE7 and IE8 + steps to reproduce are included. Tested with TG 2.0.3.

I'm shocked by this. Dojo fails in ie?

Anyway it seems you are presenting two bugs in the same ticket. One is about ie's redirect support the other is about CSS.

The CSS bug should be fixed in tgext.admin templates the dojo stuff I'm not sure.

tmu, can you try this with the latest sprox, tw.dojo, tgext.admin? I want to see if dojo 1.4.2 fixes this.

component changed from unassigned to tg-admin (non-toolbox).

Switching component to tg-admin, as this is about tgext.admin, instead of TG core itself.

tw.dojo support from admin got actually deprecated.
For future development javascript inside the admin should probably be independent from third party libraries so to keep users free to choose their favourite JS framework.
