I'm trying to get thickbox working on my site (on topmenu: link: "mail een vriend"). In IE everything works fine. In FireFox and Chrome it doesn't work. Only the background fades, but nothing appears. In my Firebug I get the following error:

An invalid or illegal string was specified" code: "12
(function(a,b){fucntion b$(a){return d... a==="string"?a:a+"px")}}}})(window); in link  jquery-1.5.min.js?m=1299143404 (rule 16)

I tried to install a older version of jQuery, but it didn't help. also installing the module sunny.svnrepository.com-thickbox-r2003 didn't work out.

What's wrong?

I found the error. It was in the doctype. XHTML doesn't support document.write();

I changed the following code

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="nl" >

to the next code

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">
