A bit further up in that template where it reads "BROWSER SPECIFIC IE FIXES" ensure the block of code reads like this...
Code:
{*--------------------------------------------------------

<!--[if IE 6]>
<script type="text/javascript" src="{if $is_https_zone}https{else}http{/if}://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/chrome-frame/1/CFInstall.min.js"></script>

<script>window.attachEvent('onload',function(){CFInstall.check({mode:'overlay'})})</script>
{/literal}
<script src="{$AltSkinDir}/custom/js/DD_belatedPNG_0.0.8a.js"></script>
{literal}
<script>
