I was having the exact same problem. IE7 returns a "'style.display' is
null or not an object" error whenever I try to use the drop down menu on
a content web part after I've populated it with content. Funny enough,
it didn't happen every time or with all my content editors.

I did some testing and it appears that if you copy the entire text from
another web part displayed in IE (I've only tried from other content
editors) it will copy not just the text, but it's formatting _and_ a
<div> tag. It's this tag that causes the problem in my case. After
removing it (using Source Editor before exiting Edit Mode), the content
editor drop down works fine.

With the error appearing the source code looks like this;

Pasting the text from IE to Word, and then into the Rich Text editor
yields this source code:

Notice the double Div tag in the first code, with the same id.

I don't know if this is the case for everybody else, but it solved the
problem for me by using Word (or any other text processor) as an
in-between step for copy and paste to strip out any formatting.

I apologize if I'm being unclear. Please feel free to comment.
