So this works just fine in FF. In IE7 I am getting this error. I can see my content load in the background, when I hit ok it takes me to a page cannot be displayed page. If I comment out:

```auto
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/moodalbox.js"></script>

```

It doesnt present that error, but that is obviously not an option. Here is my code:

```auto

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
<head>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" />
<title></title>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/mootools.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/moodalbox.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="js/swfobject.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
function launchURL(url,caption)
{
	MOOdalBox.open(url,caption,"500 400");
}
</script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="css/moodalbox.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />
<style type="text/css">
body {
	margin:0px;
	padding:0px;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<a href="javascript:launchURL('somehtmlfile.html','caption text');" title="Caption: a description of the page that's loading.">some page</a>. 
</body>
</html>

```
