I just tried (with a Chrome browser, running under Windows XP Pro -- "with" Service Pack 3) [Chrome version = 0.2.149.30] and it worked OK. ...could it be that maybe something has been fixed recently on the server end? ...or maybe the browser version or OR made a diff? I think browsers do self-identify, to allow servers "if appropriate" to tweak what they do (probably mainly to work around browser bugs!)...
