After reading through that thread and two other threads that branched out from that and a few other things, I stumbled across this:

A html validator which told me that I didn't have a DOC Type specified.
Lightbulb!
When I installed a script for expandable comments, I put the script at the very top of my template. When I moved
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">

Sweetness!
