IE 8 Compatibility

I finally got IE 8 installed on my PC AND I'm actually using it. But I've noticed a big *whoops!* when trying to view galleries on my SmugMug site with it or when viewing the comments section, such as those for my guestbook. I see nothing. No photos. At all. YIKES! In the bottom left hand corner of my broswer, it told me that there was an error on the pages, so I clicked on it and got the following error message that made it sound to me like it was a SM issue itself and not because of my customization.

Webpage error details

User Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Windows NT 5.1; Trident/4.0; .NET CLR 2.0.50727; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)

Any tips?

That gallery loads just fine for me in IE8.

I do see an error in your page, but I doubt it is what is causing the problem. In any case you might as well fix it. In your site-wide-customization page, go to the field for the tag and remove this:

onload="doOnLoad();"

You don't have that function defined anywhere in your javascript so it causes an error when the browser tries to execute it.

Now it works just fine. Weird!

At any rate, I removed the piece of code. I forget why I had it there, but it's gone now. Thanks for your help!
