currently this is broken for MouseToolbar.

I was able to make this work but only after noteable hijinx...
at some point the position object get's incorrectly set to
equal the "div" element.

Some of the problem was in initialize for MouseToolbar.

I will get back to you on details,as  I fixed it at work
 in the TNTmap widget and code which works in Safari
well doesnt always play nice in other arenas
