Rails spinoffs - Dec 2005 - IE/CSS issue using Sortables....but only on the first drag

OK, I''m in need of help :)

I''ve got a bug in IE (whoa!) that I can''t figure out. I think
its
CSS-related, but I sure can''t figure out what the problem is.

Go here: http://jerod.ontasksoftware.com/demo/index.php

and drag one of the items in the center listbox. In FF, it works 
beautifully. In IE6, it shoots off to the left...but ONLY once. After 
dragging/dropping once, its fine. So, some property that gets set after 
the drop event seems to fix it...but I can''t figure out what that 
property is!

Any ideas?

Thanks!

And naturally...now I figure it out. <sigh> Apparently I have to define 
an inline "height" element for IE. I had tried it with an external CSS
file...didn''t work. As soon as I put the inline style in place, I was 
good to go.

Is this documented somehwere, or should this be considered a bug? I''m 
not sure at exactly what point the problem shows up...those divs are 
fairly deeply nested in some pretty rough outer divs....but its a PITA 
to figure out.

Lots of problem in IE can be fixed by switching to layout mode (see
http://www.satzansatz.de/cssd/onhavinglayout.html or
http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/author/dhtml/reference/properties/haslayout.asp
).

And setting a inline width to an element make it switch to layout mode, so
it may be that.
