Try calling it onload. IE often needs to 'set up' before it allows
scripting of elements.
Unfortunately, you'll probably notice a annoying delay before
window.onload is called - the result of a fairly horrendous amount of
code duplication. Even the example you posted above might have simply
been:
<div id="UserList"
style="border:none;height:180px;overflow:auto;back ground-color:rgb(231,
232, 234);">
....and should have been moved to a stylesheet, possibly assigned by
class to avoid duplication. Many, many more examples. Even your naming
is verbose. Slim that thing down. #;-)
