98005 - clipped image blocks mouse clicks to adjacent form

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 35274

(Core :: DOM: Events, defect)

Description

[Brent Paulovicks]

From Bugzilla Helper:
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Win98; en-US; rv:0.9.2) Gecko/20010726
Netscape6/6.1
BuildID:    2001080110

The clipped (transparent) portion of an image on "z-index:2" blocks mouse clicks
to an adjacent form on "z-index:1" even though the form is visible.

This works "as expected" under IE5 and NS4.
(I tested this under Mozilla 0.9.3 - this form was submitted using Netscape.)

(Apologies for the advertisement in the test URL: this is from a free site...)

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create a DIV for a form with "z-index:1"
2.Create a DIV for a large but clipped image and overlay it by using "z-index:2"
onto the DIV in step 1
3.Form button is visible but javascript:alert("Hello") cannot be invoked
4.Set image "z-index:2" to "z-index:0" and form button will now receive mouse click

Actual Results:  Form button is visible under clipped portion of an image but
cannot receive mouse clicks

Expected Results:  onClick="alert('Hello')" should have been invoked as is the
case with IE5 and NS4
