Details

Overview Description: When viewing a page where you have mutliple "layers" (positioned blocks - CSSP) and those "layers" have differing z-index's, the "layers" with a higher z-index, when they cross over a "layer" with a lower z-index, will block objects (ie. images, links, etc.) from the user, even when the "layer" is set to be hidden. When you change the higher (blocking) "layer's" z-index (ie. via Javascript), to a z-index that is lower then the "layer" with the blocked object, you can get at the object. Steps to Reproduce: 1) View any page with multiple "layers" that have differing z-index's, with ojbects on them, and those "layers" overlap. 2) Try to click on the object on a "layer", with a lower z-index, that is being overlaped (overlaped over the object itself). You will notice that you can see the object, but can't do anything to it (no click, mouseover, etc.). Actual Results: Object can not be dealt with in any way (other then just being able to look at it). Expected Results: You would be able to interact with the object as normal.
