[Mono-list] patch to make IEWebControls TreeView work with IE and opera

[Todd Berman]

Just as an aside, I think the IE WebControls are basically going to be 
deprecated in ASP.NET 2.0, and are being replaced by other controls. It 
might be better to take as much as you have, and try and implement those 
controls out of docs and tests.
