IE9.js causing script error in IE6?

Question

Ive been tearing my hair out over this one. Im using Dean Edwards' IE9.js to make IE6 less of a nightmare. This is in my <head>

<!--[if lt IE 7]>
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="/css/ie6.css" type="text/css" media="screen">
<![endif]-->

<!--[if lt IE 9]>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="http://ie7-js.googlecode.com/svn/version/2.1(beta4)/IE9.js"></script>
<![endif]-->

Then, i open an IE6 instance in IETester and get:

An error has occured on a script in this page: Line: 7 Char: 28214 Error: Invalid Argument

Removing the IE9.JS removes this error (but breaks a lot more on the site). Any ideas? The site is here: ryanballard.tk

Thank you

looks like an error in the included code - did you try to contact the author directly? — Leon

The odd thing is, if i go to Dean Edward's site (where iE9.js is included), it works find my end leaving me to think its an error in my page (somewhere?!) — rwb

Why does the URL explicitly include "ie7-js" in it, I wonder? Anyway it could easily be that something the script is trying to do fails because you've got some CSS it doesn't expect or understand, or that's actually not valid. — Pointy

IE6, the dark ages - we buried support for that version a long time ago, any chance you can push back on supporting that version? webmasters.stackexchange.com/questions/134/… — jamesTheProgrammer

It might be an issue with font: inherit. Take a look at this and see if the workaround helps: code.google.com/p/ie7-js/issues/detail?id=307 — Krazer

Apparently, it's an issue with font: inherit. See the workaround here.
