34537 - visibility changes make HREF links unavailable

Status: VERIFIED WORKSFORME

(Core :: CSS Parsing and Computation, defect, P3)

Description

[ian young]

Using document.getElementById(name).style.visibility to show/hide <div> elements
through JavaScript makes <a href...> tags unavailable. Mouse does not show them
as available links, though they are still underlined and in the link color for
the page.

The URL is not available. I'll create a testcase based on the comments and 
attach that. If the reporter can attach the original page as a testcase (or a 
subset that shows the problem) that would help too.

Attachment: Testcase: DIV is hidden and shown via visibility. Seems to work fine.

Comment 3

[Marc Attinasi]

Though I cannot get to the testcase, I was able to create a testcase from the 
excellent description of the problem. This is working fine in a build from 
today. 

Marking WORKSFORME. Please reopen if the original URL still exhibits the problem 
- and if possible attach the page as a testcase.
