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

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

Performance of dragging and resizing this layer-with-iframe went to crap 
on Mozilla when I add that extra claer gif though, so I had to add a 
check and only add the clear gif code for IE.  Mozilla doesn't seem to 
resize images very well, things gets choppy.

Everything is working well though, thanks again.
