Only set height/width if it's a non-negative number (don't set it to 0).

Actually, that's not the case. In the current version of jQuery we do:

    // ignore negative width and height values #1599
    if ( (name === "width" || name === "height") && parseFloat(value) < 0 ) {
        value = undefined;
    }

Which effectively sets no value. We're matching that functionality (as of this commit).

The problem is not internet explorer. The problem itself is the attempt to assign a property value that is invalid or unparseable. The error is not limited to height or width (or other properties that accept length that is not negative (borderWidth, fontSize)).

This feature was discussed on comp.lang.javascript fairly recently in "Sencha Touch--Support 2 browsers in just 228K!" and also later in "isColor()?". For another example, when making transitional adjustments to style (animation), assigning "100" for fontWeight works because "100" is a valid value, but "101" is not a valid value, and so can be expected to thrown the error specified in DOM 2 Style.

Validating only two properties is limited but trying to validate every possible input value for every property would be impractical.
