From Brad:

I don't see this. Looks like an EL issue, there were some I ran in to with Tomcat 7.0.8 that went away with 7.0.12.

Downloaded and used 7.0.16. Same error.

Need to comment out EE lib names in build.properties file.

Problem not just in IE7, but in IE9 and FF4 as well, and so is a general problem. See video at http://screencast.com/t/4jLL7Tq54.

The issue was caused by the default body margin of the browser (8px in FF.) You have to override it with a zero margin. See video at http://screencast.com/t/k7gU5tly0p. This is how it's done in component showcase. If you removed the zero margin setting, then component showcase too would have the same problem. See video at http://screencast.com/t/8czQHtTsnfEN.

Revision: 28016

Modified : /services/williams/williamspoc/src/main/webapp/resources/css/williams.css

Tested in FF4, IE7, IE9.

Added margin:0; to body in my application - did not fix the problem in IE7

What application are you talking about? A different application than the above? Where is it? How can I run it?

Since Williams has moved on to the ace:menu component, this issue is no longer relevant.
