Collapsible Portal Blocks on IE and FF - Not collapsing

I'm having a strange problem I can't seem to figure out.  When using Chrome and Safari everything works fine, but with FF and IE, collapsible portal blocks will not collapse.  (This is not limited to portal blocks, but all collapsibles in SP).

Also (and I'm not sure if this is related or not), but I can't get a bit of javascript to work in a custom html block in FF or IE either.  Once again, the script works fine in Chrome and Safari. Tested on Snow Leopard and Windows XP.

Collapsible SMF areas are working on all browsers.

Link is Here.

Any help is appreciated.

There is a problem with your custom theme :). You're not defining some of the javascript that is part of the SMF default theme. I suggest you debug both by comparing your theme with the default and using the javascript error console in Firefox (Tools > Error Console)

Thanks for the response H.

Another interesting thing about this is that while my blocks won't collapse/expand on mouseclick, they do expand/collapse on browser refresh.  The slideshow script I was trying to use was giving me a lot of errors, but I don't think that's the culprit.  It seems to me like this is:

document.getElementById("sp_collapse_" + id).src = smf_images_url + (mode ? "/collapse.gif" : "/expand.gif");

The strange thing is that I edited my index.template.php to this:

document.getElementById("sp_collapse_" + id).src = smf_images_url + (mode ? "/images/collapse.gif" : "/images/expand.gif");

but the error console is not recognizing the change.  It seems to me that this is the area of code causing the problem, but I could be wrong.  If you have any tips, I'd appreciate it a ton.  Thanks again.

I'm still confused as to why this problem only manifests itself on FF and IE too.

You're closing script tags using the same tag as the opening script. While this is technically valid XML/XHTML I wonder if this is causing a problem with IE and FFx? Perhaps this is why SMF doesn't use this method itself?

This might be a shot in the dark, however I just noticed that certain script portions weren't highlighted correctly in my source editor compared to the SMF default
