RE: [Dynapi-Widgetdev] Re: Menulist

[Pascal B. <pa...@dy...>]

for DynAPI2 we used the same fix, only it's build into the DynLayer object,
and uses
a very dirty trick, it creates an url image for the background using
javascript as the
url:   javascript:null

somehow IE5 thinks that's a real image in the background of the layer, and
thus it
triggers the events.. strange stuff, but luckily it works like that :-)
