So no need to be arsey about it. Glad Mason's solution works.

So instead I used: <code> <script type="text/javascript"> Shadowbox.init({players:['qt','html']}); </script> </code> and I was bathed in the warmth of error free IE.

Annoying though, would have thought Wordpress would have implemented that. There must be a plugin for it somewhere. You can also put it into <code> tags. <code><meta http-equiv=”X-UA-Compatible” content=”IE=7″></code> Yeah if you use the ASCII code for the angled brackets instead, it’s fine.
