Problem:  Get javascript error upon using an instance of the WebImageViewer Infragistics control with IE 8 browser and compatibility turned off.

Browser:  Internet Explorer 8 with compatibility turned off; if I turn compatibility on, I get no javascript error.

Infragistics Version:  10.3

Description:

Upon using the VisualStudio 2008 debugger, I am finding a javascript error (the 'contentArea' varaible  is set to null upon trying to get its offsetWidth) on the final line of the following Infragistics javascript code (taken from an instance of ScriptResource.axd).  The javascript code seems to be part of Infragistics' implementation for the WebImageViewer control.

__isVisible:

function(element) {

if  (!element) 

     element = this._element;

var contentArea = null;

try {

    contentArea = element.offsetParent;

}

catch

(ex) { };

if (contentArea == null)

/* SJZ - In firefox, if the element's display is none, then it does not have an OffsetParent*/

return false;

while (contentArea != null && contentArea.offsetWidth <= element.offsetWidth && contentArea.tagName != "DIV")

   /* AS Only if the contentArea is not DIV */

   contentArea = contentArea.offsetParent;

if (this._control.get_orientation() == $IG.Orientation.Horizontal) {

  var  visibleAreaWidth = contentArea.offsetWidth;
