Rails spinoffs - Dec 2005 - Slider problems in IE6

Hi,

        Sorry to report a bug here, but since the web site (well, just the 
Wiki part of it) seems to spend more time being unavailable than not, I 
don''t have much choice.

        I''m using IE version 6.0.2900.2180.xpsp_sp2_gdr.050301-1519. 
I''ve
developed a small page that uses the sliders -- specifically, a single 
slider with two handles), which works fine in all versions of Firefox that 
I''ve tested it with.  However, in the above version of IE, it
doesn''t work
at all.  I''ve managed to trace it to the fact that the 
Control.Slider.trackWidth attribute is not being set in IE, but it is 
being set in Firefox.  The track, which I''ve defined as follows:

        <div id=''spend-track'' 
style=''width:350px;background-color:#aaa;height:7px;position:relative;''>

        Comes up with a value for offsetWidth (or 
Control.Slider.track.offsetWidth) of 0 in IE, and 350 in Firefox.

        I can work around this by ''manually'' setting the
trackWidth
attribute to the appropriate size.
