yeah I had the same problem with my site. Worked beautifully in any browser, but would not show up in IE for some goddamn reason.

Took my two hours of searching the code to find the problem.

I hate IE so much >_

The thing that really kills me is that JavaScript as actually a really interesting, powerful language with some cool concepts behind it. It's just rendered near-useless in the field it's best known for because of the lack of complete and consistant support in browsers (of course IE is the main offender, but even Firefox is not without some bugs).

Well, Firefox is annoying with its parsing or whitespace as text nodes. I'm not sure whether that's more correct or not, but either way it's annoying.
