  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.

  Perfect, works like a charm.  Thanks Arijit.

    IE doesn't consider a layer to 'be there' unless there's content on=20
it, as far as I have seen.  A simple work-around would be to place a=20

the layers width and height.

Hope that helps...

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=20
able to click on the website in the iframe at certain times, so I=20
need to make a clear cover layer over it.  To do this, I added layer=20
B as a child of A, and it covers it completely.

In Mozilla - works great, you can see the page in the iframe, but=20
nothing is clickable.

Here's the problem:
In IE - if I make the cover layer a color, then I only see the color,=20
and I can't click anything that it's covering, even when I click=20
where a link would normally be on the page below, so far so good. =20
But when I change the color of the cover layer to "transparent", then=20
it's like it's not there.  I can click right through it to the page=20
below.

Any ideas how to make a clear cover layer in IE?  Or is there someway=20
to make an iframe "view only" ?

Thanks in advance for the suggestions,
   Jesse
