154492 - links on layers malfunction

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 132592

(SeaMonkey :: General, defect)

Description

[Bradley Creamer]

My navigation system uses hidden layers as pop down menus. With the cursor over
the link on a pop up layer, the status bar displays the correct link.  However,
when the link is actully clicked, the browser does nothing (or if a link is
underneath the layer, it jumps to that page).

So basically, the layer is invisible to the mouse click?

Same thing happens with Mozilla .9 as does 1.0

(This bug does not exist on any other browser, PC or Macintosh, Netscape 4.+,
6.+ or Internet Explorer 5.+.)

Thank you.

the problem is that Mozilla erroneously fires mouseout events when it should
not.  This seems to even include when you mouseover a link (it immeadiately
fires a mouseover event, so you don't notice it).  This is the same problem as
bug 132592, although the case here is a lot simpler (I thought I had seen cases
like yours that worked fine, but perhaps not).

For a workaround you can fire the hide events with setTimeout...
