In IE9 Document Standards, fire_event *looks* like it works and then quietly
does nothing. The docs say they kept the method for 'backward compatibility'
which would be fine if it did anything but it *silently fails* and will not
actually fire the event. Instead IE9 uses createEvent/dispatchEvent, which
is closer to how other browsers like firefox handle events. So that code is
critical for IE9 running in IE9 Document Standards

We should be able to detect the document standards the page is using and
then make a little more intelligent decision as to which method to call,
instead of using the browser version. I'll take a look this weekend and make
a fix (we have a big release going out of Friday, so won't be able to get to
it till after that)

Thanks for digging into this Alister!

Thanks!
Hugh
