It's not an example, it's something I wrote.
http://jenny.myinfogenic.net/sitebuilder/floatdemo/index.html

I've noticed that if there's an iframe then document mouse events
don't occur, since the iframe catches them.  So, I tried removing
the iframe and working with resizing with no iframe instead.

However, whichever way I do it, I'm still having runaway mouse
events.  Sometimes my browser seems to simply not notice a mouse up
event; using IE 5.5 and using Mozilla 1.0.1 for Windows.  Sometimes
the coordinates returned are inaccurate.  Sometimes it just totally
runs away (the window resizing following mouse movement gets random).

I'm not sure what's going on but whatever it is, it's causing me trouble.

At the moment the boxes only seem to resize if I catch them by the
very point of the corner and drag them around, and even that is slow.
Additionally, trying to drag it around by its title bar is slow and
jerky, though that is done entirely based on the drag example in DynAPI.

Thanks for your help.
