Internet Explorer 6 crashes on pages where there is Lightbox2 content. There are no apparent error messages, IE6 just crashes and prompts the user to send a report to Microsoft.
In both IE7 and Firefox there appears to be no problem and all works fine.
I have tried using Lightbox2 Lite, setting javascript to load in footer. I am sticking pretty much to default configuration values (or the values I have changed seem to have no influence on the behaviour)
My Drupal version is 6.6 (I would prefer to stick to this version), Lightbox2 version 6.x-1.9.
I am providing 2 links to content that produces the crashing: http://www.shiatsuzen.es/index.php?q=node/11 (containing just modal content)
http://www.shiatsuzen.es/index.php?q=node/13 (contains modal and slideshow content)
Thank you!

Link to node/13 above is incorrect - sorry. Correct Links provided below.
After some playing around, I also have some more supporting information:
It would seem that IE6 crashes on any page where the Lightbox2 javascript is loaded - irrespective of the type of content the page includes, or even if the page has any calls to Lightbox2 functionality. Just the script being loaded is enough for a crash to occur.
I am now only loading the js on the following pages (which all cause IE6 crash):
http://www.shiatsuzen.es/index.php?q=node/9 (no Lightbox2 content or images at all)
http://www.shiatsuzen.es/index.php?q=node/10 (Slideshow content included)
http://www.shiatsuzen.es/index.php?q=node/11 (Modal content only)
http://www.shiatsuzen.es/index.php?q=node/12 (Slideshow and modal)
Thanks again.

Had this as well, but didn't have time to debug. Just switched to a different modal image module.

I have had success using thickbox. It seems to work even when LB does not.

Well it may seem like a non-constructive comment, but I strongly support that you drop IE6 support and preeminently state it on your frontpage:
Read this, it is serious, and the sooner people will stop using IE6 the less problem we will have:

@Yanis, that's all fine and good in an ideal world where clients don't care about IE6. :) But, unfortunately, our clients still care about IE6 support. :(
