Rails spinoffs - Nov 2006 - Draggable disappears when dropped

I am building an application interface with variable width menus and
panels. The menus and panels are resized by dragging a scriptaculous
draggable - there are two on the screen - they resemble the resize bars
that you might see in Outlook for example. When the drag is complete a
javascript function recalculates the width and height of all the items
on the screen based on the finish position of the dragged bar and then
the screen adjusts itself accordingly. One of the draggable bars works
perfectly. The other draggable bar will work fine when used alone, but
when the other bar is also moved, the bar disappears and will
momentarily reappear when the other bar is moved again. As well as
being invisible, it''s functionality is also lost. I have checked the
mathematics of the ''resize'' extensively and the faulty bar is
indicating that it is in the correct location. I''m sure this is a
simple oversight or a known issue with a simple fix.

I have included a small fragment of my code below - simply the ui
initialisation. Needless to say, I have 2 simple divs that are the
slide bars, with ids appropriate to the functions below. The bar divs
are empty and their styling is provided by css. The
''sacms_toolbox_slider'' is the one that works fine. The
''sacms_rail_slider'' is faulty.

I will happily provide a more complete example if someone has the time
to assist me.


Position.includeScrollOffsets = false;

function uiInit(){
	toolboxSliderInit();
	railSliderInit();
}

function toolboxSliderInit(){
	new Draggable(''sacms_toolbox_slider'',{
		ghosting: true,
		constraint: ''horizontal'',
		onEnd: application.toolboxslider.moved,
		starteffect:function(){
      		new Effect.Fade(''sacms_toolbox_slider'',{
      			duration:.4,
      			queue:''end''
      		});
		}
	});
}

function railSliderInit(){
	new Draggable(''sacms_rail_slider'',{
		ghosting: true,
		constraint: ''vertical'',
		onEnd: application.railslider.moved,
		starteffect:function(){
      		new Effect.Fade(''sacms_rail_slider'',{
      			duration:.4,
      			queue:''end''
      		});
		}
	});
}
