The first thing that caught my eye looking at your code is the missing "var"
on this line:
lg_pic = $(this).siblings('.lg_pic_name').html();
Surely you don't want to be creating a global variable here? It should be:
var lg_pic = $(this).siblings('.lg_pic_name').html();
It's even possible that this will fix your problem. Do you have an element
in your page with id="lg_pic"? If so, this will fix it.
For every element ID in your page, IE creates a *read-only* property on the
window object with that name. So if you have an element with id="lg_pic",
then there is a window.lg_pic property that is read-only. When you try to
store a value into that property it will fail.
If that doesn't turn out to be it, can you please post a link to a test
page? It's awfully hard to troubleshoot a code snippet without seeing the
actual error in a live running page.
