I have some JavaScript code that works in FireFox but not in Chrome or IE.

In the Chrome JS Console I get the follow error:

"Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected end of input".

The JavaScript code I am using is:

<script>
 $(function() {
 $("#mewlyDiagnosed").hover(function() {
    $("#mewlyDiagnosed").animate({'height': '237px', 'top': "-75px"});
 }, function() {
    $("#mewlyDiagnosed").animate({'height': '162px', 'top': "0px"});
 });
</script>

It says the error is on the last line which is });

Add a second });.

When properly indented, your code reads

$(function() {
    $("#mewlyDiagnosed").hover(function() {
        $("#mewlyDiagnosed").animate({'height': '237px', 'top': "-75px"});
    }, function() {
        $("#mewlyDiagnosed").animate({'height': '162px', 'top': "0px"});
    });
MISSING!

You never closed the outer $(function() {.
