Rails spinoffs - Jan 2008 - [1.6] [Bug] [IE7] Cumulativeoffset/cloneposition issue

Hey guys

I''m having a problem where clonePosition returns a really large left
value
causing a div to be positioned in the wrong place in IE.
I''ve investigated my markup and prepared a minimised example, I found
that
the width:100% on the wrapper div is what causes the issue.

The position is nearly-correct in firefox and opera, except the
body-padding/margin seems to alter where the box is positioned, in my mind
it should be left aligned with the input and 16px below it (offsetTop on
clonePosition)

I am using the current release 1.6 and all external css/javascript files
have been removed, leaving only required classes in the head tag.

You can view my sample page here:
http://snipersystems.co.nz/community/cumulativeoffsettest/cumulativeoffsettest.aspx

Removing the % width on the wrapper isn''t really an option because then
the
whole site would become fixed-width.

Thanks for any help provided,

Gareth

IE7:	!!(document.all && window.XMLHttpRequest),

Position.prepare();

if (Prototype.Browser.IE && !Prototype.Browser.IE7)
{
	//IE6
	alert(Position.deltaY)
}
else
{
	alert(Position.deltaY)
}

IE7 is similar to firefox

Prototype.Browser.IE7 = Prototype.Browser.IE && (typeof
document.body.style.maxHeight != "undefined");

This works too, and IIRC the XMLHttpRequest check won''t work if the
user disabled XHR from the security settings.

Best,

Guys, was that intended for me to monkeypatch my prototype.js or for the
core guys to work with?

Okay, much debugging later...

The problem came from viewportOffsets but it was actually IE reporting an
incorrect offsetLeft value for an element that doesn''t have layout.
By using one of the hasLayout fixes, the offsetLeft property comes back
correctly and the div is positioned in the correct place.
I have taken the example down otherwise it is misleading.
