Description

I'm testing shadowbox on a website which uses simpleCart. On MSIE 7 and 8 the shadowbox plugin (Jquery adapter) causes an error on simpleCart.js:
'childnodes" is null or not an object.
Does anybody know what causes this and/or how to fix it?
Is there a way to "clean" childnodes related to simpleCart (not actually sure this is could be the issue)
thanks

Reproduce the interaction between Shadowbox's jQuery adapter and simpleCart.js in MSIE 7 and 8, focusing on the reported null childNodes error. Trace which DOM operation triggers the failure and record a verified fix or workaround that prevents the error without breaking either component.
