I assume this is more of an issue with FireFox and iframes but maybe
someone here can help me.  I am using jQuery UI's "resizable" feature/
component to basically create a "splitpane."  I took an approach
similar to the one used at 
http://ui.jquery.com/repository/real-world/splitpane/.
I have a 1-row 2-column table with a resizable div in the left td.  In
that resizable left div, I have an iframe that takes up all the
space.  When I resize the east border to the right, it works as
expected because the mouse stays in the document.  But when I move the
border to the left, it doesn't work because the mouse moves over the
iframe, it starts capturing the mouse events and the resizable
component doesn't get them.

This problem happens in both FireFox and IE but it does work in
Safari.  Is there any easy way to prevent the iframe from "stealing"
those mouse events in IE and FireFox?  Any help would be appreciated.
I was thinking about adding listeners for certain events (mousemove
and mouseup maybe) to the iframe or its document and passing those
events to the parent document.  I'm not quite sure how to go about
that though.
