Interesting. I can get it to work with rhuk_milkyway, but not with JA_purity. It does seem to have something to do with the template though, nice lead. Thank you!

Sure enough, my template did not have a call to mootools.js. I added that right before the end of the head and now it's working in IE8.
<script type="text/javascript" src="/templates/MyTemplate/js/mootools.js"></script>
(I also had to copy the JS directory from the milkyway template folder into my template folder.)

So now, I'm wondering, and this will reveal and confirm my total ignorance on this...but why would this work in firefox without the mootools but only in IE with the mootools?

Frankly, it shouldn't. If mootools isn't being included, I don't know how it's working. However, Firefox and IE have their own Javascript engines, and the call we're making to mootools is very generic and very common, so it's possible that Firefox actually has some built-in support for it. I don't know if this is true, but it's a possibility.

Either way, glad to hear it's working.
