JS Error in Video Services Overview page with some versions of IE8

[dmartinc]

"​http://indicobeta.cern.ch/adminCollaboration.py clicking on recording request or other buttons triggers a js error and the page does not change. (IE 8)"

There's a JS error when clicking on index name titles such as "all", "EVO", etc.

This happens with Thomas's IE8, but I could not reproduce it with other IE8's (Ian, Cveti, Joao, virtual machines...).
I tried to remove Pedro's recent fix with forces IE8 to ignore the compatibility view rules, in order to load the page in compatibility view, but I still cannot reproduce the error.

Copy/paste of the IE JS error report (not very helpful...):

If the lines numbers make reference to the html file (and not any linked JS file which are packed and dont have a lot of lines), line 1868 is:

var cell = Html.td('ACBookingCell', Html.span('', 'In event: '), Html.span('', booking.conference.title));

lines 1324, 1348, 1364, etc. are all similar to:

<a id="index_all" onclick="indexSelectedObs('all', false)" class="CAIndexUnselected"  >

(they are the links with the index name, they all call the same function on onclick)

It seems this is not a JS issue but a translation issue; the page works in English but not in French.

[FIX] VSOverview page problems in French

-There was a Python's _ i18n function
being used inside a Javascript string;
the english string was 'In event' and
was being replaced by 'Dans l'évènenement',
therefore provoking a syntax error.
-Replaced <%= _() %> by $T() in Javascript code.
-Added some missing <%= _() %> in HTML code.

• fixes #186
• reviewed by jbenito: missing $T.
