125175 - Inline frames (<iframe>) always drawn on top

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 91516

(Core Graveyard :: GFX, defect)

Description

[Brian Rogers]

Iframes always draw on top of other content, even when they shouldn't.

One example is if you use absolute positioning to place a div on top of an
iframe.  The iframe should in this case be clipped by the div, but it is drawn
on top.
It should respect the same ordering rules as any other element, that is, later
elements in the html go on top.

Z-index does not work to fix this ordering, and setting -moz-opacitiy below 1.0
does not allow you to see below the iframe.

This is on Mozilla build 2002021108.

Attachment: simple testcase

Attaching simple testcase.  Right should match left.  The green box should be
on top.

This problem seems that is going to be fixed (let's hope so) quite soon in bug
91516 "IFRAMEs do not respect z-index of other, non-iframe content"
