resizing table columns in ie6

[sorpigal]

I'm not sure if this is properly a UI bug or a problem in jquery proper, but I figured I'd start here.

See the attached test. In IE6 this puts tiny little handles (another issue altogether!) on each header cell. Click and drag one. No problem. Click the same handle again, and error line 1124 "Invalid Argument". That's jquery-1.2.6.js line 1124, which is this:

if ( set ){

elem[ name ] = "" + value;

}

I've seen the value of 'value' here be null, as in this example, but I've seen the same error when it's a real value like '-17px'. I really can't explain that one.

If I remove the "helper: 'proxy'" bit it works without errors. The same error can be triggered other options, such as {ghost: true}. The error seems to go away if I omit the containment option.

Tested with jquery-1.2.6 and jquery-nightly, both with ui 1.6rc2.

resizable doesn't support table, wait for grid component.
