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

[Arijit D. <ad...@pr...>]

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...
