I have the same problem in IE8 on Windows 7. However, it does work in
Chrome. Note, the browser-based shell in admin has some limitations, so some
things won't work at all (even in Chrome). To get full shell functionality,
you can get into a regular Python shell by starting web2py with command line
arguments, as explained here:
http://web2py.com/book/default/chapter/04#Command-Line-Options. For example:
python web2py.py -S yourapp -M -N
will run 'yourapp' in the Python shell (-M runs your models, and -N turns
off cron). If you've got IPython installed, it will start in IPython (unless
you add the -P command line argument to use the regular Python shell).
Also, see http://web2py.com/book/default/chapter/04#Execution-Environment.
