The IE9 debugger complains about the following SimpleModal line:

g.removeExpression("height");

SCRIPT438: Object doesn't support property or method 'removeExpression' 
global.v11558.js, line 128 character 440

SimpleModal works if IE's 'Compatibility View' is turned on for the page, but 
not otherwise.

No joy with SimpleModal 1.4.2, either. :(

Thanks. This should be fixed now with SimpleModal 1.4.3.
