Thanks for the help Joe. Originally most of the on-page script was
just javascript, but the function call was to a custom jQuery plugin.
I did a modified version of what you suggested and rewrote the plugin
to just be basic functions with parameters. Seems to work now, I'm
just bummed I couldn't keep the jQuery plugin because IE7 decided it
wasn't going to let it work with onclick.
Thanks again.
