Clapboard - Full Frontal Nerdity

Okay, this was a tough one. Not simply because I didnt know what the hell to search for.  Internet Explorer hated my site for a little while.  Here are the salient details for the issue.

Im running an edited SH_Zinc.  Im using the JSCook menus in Horizontal fashion in the mod_product_categories module.  IE pretty much will not run any code past the JSCook menu.  No idea why.

I discovered that there was a line in the source of the flypage (Im never updating this website ever, ever, ever, btw) on line 160 that called that menu that was supposedly referencing an outside event, and IE doesnt like that.

You need to edit the /modules/mod_virtuemart/vm_JSCook.php file line 133 from

<script type=\"text/javascript\"><!--

to

<script type=\"text/javascript\" defer=\"defer\"><!--

And that defers the code from running till the rest of the page has loaded.  I cant make the error go away yet, but I also no longer fail the pageload.  I am okay with this.

I used the following links to help me on this  (in no particular order):

Link 1
Link 2
Link 3
and
a ton of Google.

in case I ever need to do it again, it's important to note that the width of the boxes created by the various browse pages is set in the file

/beta.shoehardware.com/components/com_virtuemart/themes/gears/templates/browse/includes/browse_notables.tpl.php

It was a huge pain in the ass to get that set (again) because one little change and everything goes back to the wrong layout.
