I am using the "mimic igoogle tutorial with cookies" by James Padolsey http://james.padolsey.com/tag/cookies/
I have encountered a problem with the way that IE6 & 7 interprets the javascript. I have found the problem but I have no way of working around it.
The following code is long but the problem is only in one small section
/*

If I leave this section blank
widgetIndividual : {
static: {
movable: false,
removable: true,
collapsible: true,
editable: false,
}
}
For example, like this
widgetIndividual : {
}
Then it works fine on all browsers, unfortunately I need to use the Individual Widget settings for my project.
IE6-7 throws out an error because of these guys "}", I have no idea why.
Remove the last comma in this object it will work.
widgetIndividual : {
static: {
movable: false,
removable: true,
collapsible: true,
editable: false
}
}
