Hey guys I've looked into it a bit further.  .preventDefault isn't supported by
internet explorer. this can be sovled by replacing line 98 with

        if(!e) var e = window.event;

    //e.cancelBubble is supported by IE - this will kill the bubbling process.
    e.cancelBubble = true;
    e.returnValue = false;

    //e.stopPropagation works only in Firefox.
    if (e.stopPropagation) {
        e.stopPropagation();
        e.preventDefault();
    }

see http://www.openjs.com/articles/prevent_default_action/ for more info.
