Description

[Corey Tisdale]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:0.9.9) Gecko/20020311
BuildID:    2002031104

I have a DHTML page where a pulldown menu, when pulled, covers some links. Even
when thew pulldown menu is  hidden, or rolled up, or whatever, however, the
links that fall in the area the menu would cover if it were open are unclickable
in mozilla only.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.go the the url
2.use the menus to get to any page other than the front page
3.try to click on links that would fall under the menu if it were open.

Actual Results:  you can't follow the links, even though they show up as they
should, colored and underlined

Expected Results:  you should be able to follow the link as you would any other link

URL https://www.thegrillstoreandmore.com/Hilton/ needs username.
Severity -> Normal as this is not a crasher.

Event problem, and I'm pretty sure this is a dupe.

I think this was fixed recently by bug 35274... can you test on a newer build?

Please reopen if you can reproduce this in a recent build (worksforme, linux
build 2002-04-12-21, testing with the "Gas Grills" menu and a link it covers up).
