Simple Modal fails with jQuery 1.8.0 and IE9 with the error:
SCRIPT438: Object doesn't support property or method 'removeExpression'
The following fiddle demonstrates (remember to run with IE9)
http://jsfiddle.net/ericjohannsen/ZVEWa/1/
Switching jQuery to 1.7.2 causes the error to go away.
Is there a way to work around this?

Problems with simple modal in IE9
Just to provide an updated answer (as of 8/2/2013), since I stumbled across this post while hunting down the very same bug...
As salgiza pointed out above in a comment, there's been a change in jQuery 1.10 that drops support for $.support.boxModel
, which the latest version of Simple Modal uses.
To resolve this issue, you must change the following line in the Simple Modal source code:
// (Line 239) $.support.boxModel is undefined if checked earlier
//browser.ieQuirks = browser.msie && !$.support.boxModel;
browser.ieQuirks = browser.msie && (document.compatMode === "BackCompat");
It appears that the issue can be resolved by changing $.boxModel to $.support.boxModel. You can grab an updated version at http://github.com/ericmmartin/simplemodal.
I will try and get a fully packaged release, with min version, out shortly.
[edit] SimpleModal 1.4.3 has been released and should resolve this issue
Had the same error as mentioned above 'Object doesn't support property or method 'removeExpression''. The modal window popped up in all browsers except IE. (Using non-minified version 1.4.3 of file jquery.simplemodal.js)
Fixed it by putting try {} catch (e) {}
around all dynamic properties.
E.g.
try {
s.removeExpression('top');
}
catch (e) {
//The support for dynamic properties has been removed in Internet Explorer 9
}
The modal window shows in all browsers now.
