CSS get for zoom style does not work in IE7, IE8, inconsistent IE9

[[email protected]…]

Example page: ​http://thedailynathan.com/files/jQuery/zoombug.html

I use jQuery 1.6.4 to set and then get the css zoom style.

In Chrome, it works as expected - I set and get 0.5

IE9 works, but a little weird - I set 0.5 and get back 50%. Would be better if I got back 0.5

IE7 and IE8, completely broken. Instead of any number related to the zoom ratio, I instead get a pixel value for what looks like the width of that element, e.g. 862px

Added an extra log statement showing that vanilla JS handles this fine

That is the computed value for zoom in IE6/7. Given that zoom is not supported in other browsers, I don't think we'll be digging into this.
