[Dynapi-Help] offtopic? IE "clear cover layer"

[Jesse V. <je...@6t...>]

I'm not sure if this is really on topic, but you guys know the most 
about this stuff, so I thought you might be able to help out.

I have layer A, which has an iframe on it.  I don't want people to be 
able to click on the website in the iframe at certain times, so I need 
to make a clear cover layer over it.  To do this, I added layer B as a 
child of A, and it covers it completely.

In Mozilla - works great, you can see the page in the iframe, but 
nothing is clickable.

Here's the problem:
In IE - if I make the cover layer a color, then I only see the color, 
and I can't click anything that it's covering, even when I click where a 
link would normally be on the page below, so far so good.  But when I 
change the color of the cover layer to "transparent", then it's like 
it's not there.  I can click right through it to the page below.

Any ideas how to make a clear cover layer in IE?  Or is there someway to 
make an iframe "view only" ?

Thanks in advance for the suggestions,
    Jesse

IE doesn't consider a layer to 'be there' unless there's content on it, 
as far as I have seen.  A simple work-around would be to place a clear, 
1 pixel by 1 pixel image, in the cover layer and stretch it to the 
layers width and height.

Hope that helps...
