Hi,

I've inherited a system that uses the timeline package to display a
timeline. I've been wrestling with a bug in IE 8 where the link in a
pop-up bubble cannot be clicked. After a few hours, I've narrowed it
down to a specific problem: if the timeline div does not appear on the
page originally (in other words, it has to be scrolled to), then the
pop-up bubble links do not work.

I've put two examples up:
- http://steveshaw.ca/samples/TimelinePage.html works for me in IE8
- http://steveshaw.ca/samples/TimelinePageBroken.html does not work in
IE 8

These are simplified from the code I'm actually using but demonstrate
the problem.

The only difference between the pages is the height of the spacer div
- in the working example, it's 500px and in the broken example it's
900 px. That's enough on my current setup to force a scroll to see the
timeline. When I try to click on the link in the pop-up, nothing
happens (except the pop-up disappearing). If I view the broken page
with a "tall" screen I don't see the error.

Another way to recreate the error is to resize the browser to a
smaller screen and load the working page. It no longer works once I
scroll to the div containing the timeline.

Both pages work as expected in Firefox.

Any ideas or suggestions?
-Steve

p.s. there's no way I would believe this error report without seeing a
working example. I really hope it's not some artifact of my installed
browser.
