Frame acts like javascript event onMouseout, while the mouse is moved on the
layer part which is over the IFRAME. See
http://home.planet.nl/~jespe006/try/index.html.  In normal circumstances
onMouseout event is only valid when leaving the layer and not when you are on
the layer and the IFRAME is below the layer.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.See the code at the example.
2.
3.

Actual Results:  
It seems the onMouseout event gets executed when you move the mouse over the
layer on the part which is above the IFRAME.

Expected Results:  
In normal circumstances onMouseout event is only valid when leaving the layer.
Which in on beneath the layer is not important.

I've not much experience with coding javascript and DOM. The page works well
under M$IE, but that is also saying nothing.  I've passed the code through w3C
validator and it contains no errors.

But Firefox and Mozilla are great browsers :-)

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.
