Sorry just a little rant at my self and IE. 
For the last hour I've been trying to get a jquery picture scroller plugin working on a site. Working lovely in chrome but not IE 6 7 or 8. Really puzzled me so I stripped it down and rebuilt it several times. Even created a new webpage with a blank css sheet with just the scroller on and it still didn't bloody work. Was pulling my hair out by this point, (done all usual google searches amusing it was a plugin problem with IE).
Anyways it turns out that IE doesn't like self closing script brackets <script /> and refuses to display any js content unless they are all correct, (i'm talking in the header here not the body), chrome has no problem with them tho.
So partly my own fault for not having really used js before and partly microsofts for being idiots.
Sorry, just thought i'd share my frustration
