I don't know that this can be fixed.  It's IE, some amount of fudging is to be
expected - there was a time where Timeplot didn't function in IE at all.

I understand that fudging is always required with IE, but I guess it'd be 
preferred
if that fudging could be done with the integration of timeplot to the 
surrounding
site; and not require a particular doctype to be functional. Maybe I'm living 
in a
perfect world though :)

FWIW: the example has been live for a while now, at
http://musicbrainz.org/show/stats/timeline.html). Linkback to bug on MB:

This fix worked for me: Add z-index values in timeplot.css...the event-boxes 
get lost
behind the main canvas in IE7 strict mode...

.timeplot-event-box {
    cursor: pointer;
    z-index: 200;
}

.timeplot-event-box-highlight {
    border: 2px solid #FFB03B;
    z-index: 500;
}

Thanks a lot, johnmapierre. That's great. Should make it not-too-hard to fix in 
the
default as well.
