Hi All, Under certain circumstances in Internet Explorer, accessing an element's offsetParent property throws an 'Unspecified Error' exception. Apparently this problem only exists if you try to access the property after manipulating the DOM tree. (And only in Internet Explorer) I came across this when implementing Draggable on a node that written using innerHTML. I found this explaination: http://weblogs.asp.net/rajbk/archive/2006/11/29/ie-6-7-unspecified-error-when-accessing-offsetparent-javascript.aspx
So what's the best way to work around this? I looked at the Mochikit code and offsetParent is used in a whole bunch of places. One solution is to replace all those property accessors with a function (getOffsetParent) which has a try\catch block to handle the error. But thats a lot of work. Is it possible to override the DOM node's offsetParent property (via prototype) to get the needed behavior? Is this something that needs to be addressed in the core library (in which case, would you accept a patch that solves it?) or is this something that developers are on their own to fix?
