CFHOUR() crashes IE 8

Well.. I succumbed to the marketing pressure and installed IE 8. First thing I did was start checking my sites against it.

My blog seems to work just fine. I did not find any apparent issues with it.

I have a couple other sites I have worked on and they were all ok. These were a peppering of CF8 sites that used JQuery, and EXT.

Then I got to the CFHOUR.com site. The site loaded just fine and the layout was correct. The windows for comments and subscribe loaded fine. The site appeared to work as expected.

If the site works fine in IE7, try putting this in the HEAD:
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE7" />

Interesting... In Chrome there is a problem too when you click the Add Comment link for a second time, except instead of the tab crashing it just goes all white like there is no content on the page.

In fact, the same thing happens in Firefox. If you view the source there is just 1 line of code:

<script src='http://www.google-analytics.com/ga.js' type='text/javascript'></script>

I think I have to alter the site to not use CFWINDOW. It causes me nothing but grief.
