121339 - z-index not honoured for layers with iframes

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 91516

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[ravi]

see example at http://www.streamcenter.com/~ravi/tmp/tst.html

in the example there are two div's, one with some test text
with a z-index of 2 and another with an iframe z-index 1.
the iframe overlaps the test text despite the lower z-index.

it seems like this is a known problem since i found a
suggestion on the net that this problem can be overcome for
mozilla by setting "position: absolute" for the div's, but
that doesnt work reliably. unfortunately i could not find any
bug in bugzilla for this problem using the search mechanism.

this works for ie5.5 and above in the expected fashion.

i do not know what component this bug should be under
(layout?) so i am filing it as browser-general.
