Why is my site fragging up?

    I don't know if it is javascripts fault but, on my homepage the description floater does not work unless the flash navbar isn't in view. This only happens in IE so I was wondering if there was a solution.

    Also my 'new changer function' at the top of the page also locks up in IE if you minimize the window and wait a minute or two. Did I do something wrong with the 'setTimeout'?

    Here is a link to my homepage: http://www.foreverplaying.com/script/index.php

    If you need anything else to help me diagnose the problem, just tell me.

    Thanks!

    I didn't see the problem with IE 8 - may I ask why are you using Flash for the menu? There are many good CSS/JS alternative that are much lighter, and are better for SEO...

    You didn't see a problem with IE 8? Strange.... Did you load the page and then minimize it and go about your normal tasks with the page minimized for a few minutes? It seems to always mess up for me.

    you do an ajax which results in an endless loop due to a 301 redirect to your 404 page
    http://www.foreverplaying.com/assets/error_pages/404_error - within 5 mins i have seen over 500 requests.

    it happens after ajax requests for http://www.foreverplaying.com/assets/php/headerlogin.php?do=checkotherpage which is not found. XHR does follow http redirects so it becomes a bit of a loop. this site is a disaster as is for ANY browser, not just IE. The problem is that IE has a much worse garbage collector than the rest, particularly ie6 and ie7. fix the ajax and it will get better a bit, at least.
