Another IE6 weirdness: getComputedStyle and tables

[GoogleCodeExporter]

A getComputedStyle call on the BODY element breaks subsequent calls to
getComputedStyle for elements in a table cell.

Here's the test case:
http://wforms.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/sandbox/base2-IE6-getComputedStyle.html

Code:
    var elem = document.getElementById('bodyElement');
    var p = document.defaultView.getComputedStyle(elem,
"").getPropertyValue('padding');

    var elem = document.getElementById('testField2');
    try {
        var p = document.defaultView.getComputedStyle(elem,
"").getPropertyValue('position');
    } catch(x) {
        alert("ERROR: "+x.message); 
    }
    if(p=='static') alert("OK");

  * It works fine if you remove the getComputedStyle on the body element. 
  * It works fine if the second element is not in a table.
  * It breaks on line 654 in base2-dom.js. A try/catch indicates a problem
accessing the 'rubyOverhang' property.

I can't recreate this bug. What version of MSIE are you using? Are you using 
sp1 or sp2?

• Added labels: Browser-MSIE, Module-base2.DOM

OK. I can create the bug now. It seems that accessing ruby properties causes a 
crash.
Good old explorer! I'm ignoring these properties in future.

Fixed on my machine. Will check in later.

For the record it was on IE6 SP2 WinXP.
Ignoring the properties is fine, I'd never heard of the ruby element before..

IE supports simple ruby only.

This is now fixed in trunk/lib.
