After tearing out my hair, and crying quietly to myself (CQTM to all you acronym text junkies) I found the problem. If you leave a comma at the end of a set of variables in javascript right before a closing tag like this—> } it breaks the script in IE.

Nice to know, at least now I know how to fix it, or I can choose to leave IE out of the fun now if I please, that will teach it huh!
