What version of IE are you using? I keep the problematic(albeit necessary) IE6 SP2 around for testing and this code snippet works in the HTML tester provided with IE6. Also works fine in FF3.

Do you have friendly errors turned off? If so, what is the line and var error indicated in the IE JS error window?

If you are using IE6(not sure where it is in 7), try going to Tools > Internet Options > Advanced Tab - Then uncheck the "Disable Script Debugging (Internet Explorer)" option. This should allow you to isolate the source of your issue.

Cheers,
Jenkins

Check the versions of prototype/scriptaculaous + the lightwindow that you're using. Perhaps they're not compatible or not the latest versions.
