Please be sure to provide information about what version of jQuery and
jQuery UI you are using. If you can attach a minimal test page that shows
the error, that will help even more. Thanks.

 hi all,

 this problem is driving me nuts! i hope to be able to provide as much
 info as possible to help resolve it!! the site is working fine with
 the drag n drop, but at some points the drag feature breaks reporting
 an error with line number 3370 (or there abouts as i have added a
 couple of lines  to try n debug)...the line number points to this line
 of code...

 offsetParent = elem.offsetParent,

 it reports and error in IE with the script debugger...i have tried
 logging the elem to the console and it works fine, but for some reason
 it breaks when trying to get the offsetParent and ownerDocument from
 the draggable element.

 any help would be most gratefully appreciated!!! i can supply a URL to
 view the issue...the site works fien in FF otherwise i'd be using
 firefbug to track down the problem...i can't seem to extract any more
 info than this really...!

 again thanks in advance!!

[jQuery] Re: jQuery offsetParent - using with drag/drop UI problem in IE7

2009-02-06 Thread tom gee

hi,

apologies the reason i didn't post in the UI group was because it was
a method of jQuery itself, so I wasn't too sure which group to put it
in to be honest!
the thing is im unsure if its a problem with jQuery, I was just hoping
someone might be able to see if there was a problem with the setup/
code or if someone had run into the same problem!

using jQuery 1.2.6 with an unkown version of UI as its only the
minified version with no comments, it would be whicever version is
compatible with 1.2.6.

thanks,
tom

[jQuery] Re: jQuery offsetParent - using with drag/drop UI problem in IE7

2009-02-06 Thread tom gee

ah finally i managed to find out what was causing it !!!

not sure if this is something jQuery can even account for really,
unless I guess if jQuery has been used to update the DOM, but its due
to the ossetParent bug with IE, when an element has been updated via
the DOM it throws an unspecified error...!!

thanks!
