Overview description Forms in multiple layers (like described in many dhtml books) do not work at all if elements of the form overlap in one way or another. Steps to reproduce: 1: get: http://www.abz.nl/test/formlayer.html 2: get: http://www.abz.nl/test/formlayer.js 3: get: http://www.abz.nl/test/formlayer.css 4: get: http://www.abz.nl/test/browsercheck.js 5: place them somewhere on your local machine 6: use NS4 to see what te results of the cyan and pruple layer do at one position 7: view the sourcecode of the html file and change 'workaround2 = true' into 'workaround2 = false' (this workaround places the layers at different positions) 8: try to use the forms... 9: change the workaround2 again and see that it (partly) works.. (i'll file another bug report of hiding layers) Actual results: Forms and layers completely useless Expected results: Just like in NS4... normal use of layers and forms Build and dates: Verified on W95 with the 2000010516 build Verified on Linux with the 20000108?? build

(Same for this bug report). Just noting that where rtvkuijk@netscape.net says 'layer' above, it is used in the generic sense -- this testcase is not trying to use <LAYER> and document.layers with mozilla (so this is *not* INVALID on that point). I'm looking into these further. Be back later.

This bug appears to be pretty much the same as bug #22168 (www.espn.com) -- events with abs. positioned DIVs -- vidur said there "The problem is that events seem to be delivered to views that correspond to positioned content that isn't visible (via CSS)." Passing on to joki. I have a simplified test case that I will attach in a moment.

I hit this with some fixes today. Vidur is right on bug 22168, though, that a problem with CSS hidden divs. this one was just targetting, though, and it works now.

Sorry, this is broken on: - Linux6 2000-02-17-15 Commercial build - MacOS9 2000-02-17-15 Commercial build - Win98 2000-02-17-15 Mozilla build Re-opening.
