Problem with IE in grab/drag scenario

I have a project where users can interact with a carousel like slide show, and drag between slides instead of using an arrow/number navigation. JS is based on the following plug in:

The issue is, in开发者_如何学C IE, if a user grabs inside the carousel and the mouse leaves the container element, the UI freaks out. If you play around with it, you'll see what I mean.

Is there a way to tell IE to handle the drag/click event to mimic firefox and chrome? I'm sure this is a common problem with IE and UI design.

Help!

EDIT: This also happens in Chrome. Firefox is the only browser that handles this in an intuitive way.

When, in IE, the mouse leaves the square, it's not releasing the mousedown event. So even when you let the button go, the plugin still thinks that the mouse is down.

Is it possible then that you wrap the plugin in say a div and on the div have a mouseleave event and force the plugin to execute mouseup?

I think you should be able to use the jQuery keyword "trigger" to do it.
