Possible to send link that forces different initial style?

This is something that has driven me nuts ever since you put up the latest default style. For security reasons, my employer blocks most "active content" in Internet Explorer. As a result, the default SmugMug style (which I generally like otherwise) is broken -- and won't show any images at all -- when viewed via IE by my co-workers. The SmugMug style works fine in Firefox, but not everyone has Firefox on their systems.
Generally, the traditional style works in IE, but it has to be selected by the viewer after getting a broken page. And today, I found that when I select Traditional, it does not "take" -- I'm able to select it in the pull-down but the change is not committed and the page does not refresh (this used to work; did you change how that menu works recently?).
I really don't want to change the style to "traditional", especially since that pins down the style and the viewer cannot change it -- I do not see a way to change the initial style and still allow viewer control. So, is there any way that I can, say, generate a link to send to IE-using co-workers that will allow them to browse my pictures? And is there some reason why whatever (I assume) flash-based thing you are doing in Firefox won't work in IE?

Sure, how about sending a /Large Link?

would that work?

If there really is nothing in there except for javascript (no activex or embedded objects, for example) then I might take a stab at getting our firewall folks to look at it, although they are predicatably loathe to bother with anything that isn't clearly "work related" :-(
Easy fix (at least for my problem) would be for smugmug to use our custom domains everywhere in the code.

Our company blocks it as well and it is blocked under the topic of 'mass storage'
