'k.position().left' is null or not an object error when loading in IE7 #28

Great tool! Getting error during load for IE7. Get same behavior/error in IE9 noncompatibility mode. Gotta love IE! I haven't had a chance to run this down but thought others may have same issue.

Also, timeline drag left/right not working, nor mouse icon not changed which most likely comes from error.

Could have been my issue when hiding the title bar. Original code was used on IE7 and got different error.

I was able to tackle this by caching the left position of the element into a data- attribute when it gets painted, rather than using jQuery to retrieve it using position().left later — I couldn't figure out why IE7 wasn't able to do the position retrieval. It just seemed to not have that DOM information available. Possibly a kind of "stack overflow" for DOM events in IE7... Anyhow, it seems to work now with that fix.
