Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 93959

(Core :: Web Painting, defect)

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.6a) Gecko/20031023 Firebird/0.7+

Create a flash image using the <object> tag.  Then create a position:absolute
div with a high z-index.  No matter what, the flash image will always cover up
the position:absolute div.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

Actual Results:  
The flash image is over the div.

Expected Results:  
The div should cover part of the flash image (because it has a higher z-index).

Testcase will follow.

Note: I didn't do a thorough search on duplicates, so I guess it's kind of good
that someone else will be confirming this or not.  Also, I wasn't sure of the
exact component to put this under, so I settled on "Layout," where it can be
reassigned to the specific area later.

As for the "Major" Severity, if this truly is a bug, then this breaks a major
feature in the way div's work.

Please, do it whenever you want to file a bug.
This is just a problem in your code not using wmode.
