Question

This is weird. I am testing to see if JQuery is installed by adding an alert.

This works fine in Firefox, safari, opera and chrome, but IE 6/7 simply do not show the alert.
JavaScript is enabled. Has anybody ever come accross this?

$(document).ready(function()
{ 
   alert('Test');
});

You have unnecessary comas in your javascript in several places in your inline object declarations.

$('a#n-america').qtip({
              content: 'Nouth America',
              show: 'mouseover',
              hide: 'mouseout',
              style: { name: 'cream' },  // <<<<< LIKE HERE
        })

Firefox is tolerant of that. But IE will simply refuse to run that entire javascript code section.

Technically IE is right, it’s badly constructed javascript..
