2831 - Right justified images clickable across entire length of window

Status: VERIFIED INVALID

(Core :: Layout: Images, Video, and HTML Frames, defect, P1)

Description

[Mike Pinkerton (not reading bugmail)]

In the toolbars for apprunner, we are currently trying to right justify the
throbber with:

<html:a style="position:absolute; direction:rtl; right:3; top: 7px;" href="http:/
/www.netscape.com">
    <html:img alt="Throbber!" border=0 src="resource:/res/throbber/anims00.gif"/>
</html:a>

This "works" (the throbber is right justified in the window), but the side effect
is that the entire frame that image is in (which runs across the entire length of
the window from the left side) changes the cursor (because it's a clickable link)
and clicking anywhere in that empty space loads the url. Shouldn't both the click
and the cursor feedback be limited to the actual image, not the entire
positioning frame?

This is really making the toolbars seem goofy, since you can go to netcenter by
clicking anywhere on the toolbar background -- how's that for ad revenue? ;)

Is this a correct behavior? I can't see how it could be, but I'm prepared to be
convinced. Also, any better ways to right justify the throbber would be
appreciated ;).

Per our discussion, I'm marking this INVALID as Mike suggested. Specifying a
'width' should fix the problem
