Hi Everyone,

 

I've noticed this strange conflict when trying to get the width of a jQuery object in IE8/9 when prototypejs is also loaded.  I'm using the latest version of prototypejs. version 1.7

 

IE8/9 w/o prototype works correctly.

IE7 w/ prototype work correctly.

 

The object I'm trying to get the width from is a DIV with absolute positioning and a width of 500px in the style attribute.  It's called #INFO_DIALOG.

 

// supposed to return 500, but returns the WINDOW width.  same as jQuery(window).width();

// This does return 500 in IE7 with prototype or IE8/9 without prototype loaded.

jQuery("#INFO_DIALOG").width();

 

// returns 500px. works will all combinations

jQuery("#INFO_DIALOG").css("width");
