[Chameleon] Certain tools not functioning in IE (6.0)

[Jason Fournier]

Jennifer,

When I run 
http://maps.aqua.wisc.edu/CoastalHazards/HazardsTemplate.phtml in IE 6 
and Firefox 1.04 I don't get any errors.  I have cleared my cache in 
both browsers just to be sure.  All popups seem to work and I get the 
hover states of each nav button.

Can you be more specific about the errors being reported?  IE will at 
least report a line number.

Thanks,
Jay
