OBI 11g Freeze Column Header Feature not supported on IE7/8

I recently ran into a issue with a user complaining that when they look at a report on a Dashboard page that the "freeze" column headers wasn't working.....weird since I logged in the same test account and I see then and the functionality. After some investigation the user was using IE8. Ok so of too the land of Oracle Support to find out the answer. Put in SR; after looking around and this is the response from Oracle Support. Good to know when accessing the client's environment during discovery phase.

"In IE 7 and IE 8 the Freeze Header is intentionally disabled. If you click the help button on the table properties dialogue you will see the help page contains the following:
...
Note:
Tables and pivot tables that use the scrolling method to browse data do not render properly in Microsoft's Internet Explorer browser version 7 or 8. As a result, when Microsoft's Internet Explorer browser version 7 or 8 is detected, the table or pivot table will be rendered using paging controls instead...."
