Details

A HTML element (in my test case, a DIV) which normally responds to onClick (to change the text in the element) stops reacting to this event when it's positioned absolutely (position: absolute; top: 100px; left: 100px;).

Fixed. Here's some test code. <HTML> <BODY> <div onclick="dump('click div 1\n');"> Div 1 </div> <div style="position: absolute; top: 100px; left: 100px;" onclick="dump('click div 2\n');"> Div 2 </div> </BODY> </HTML>

Build 1999-06-02-08-M7 Win98 When I run this example text, I get confirmation (in the dos window) that the div1 and div2 are being clicked, however there are no on screen text changes as I understand there should be.
