Comment:
There are quite a few problems with DHTML related to the Macintosh:

IE4.5 is a nightmare, especially when coming to z-indexes and weird
transparent overlays preventing events from occuring on the page)

It also seems like any clipping manipulation is disallowed (the
elm.style.clip does not seem to be able to be manipulated)

This seems to also carry on over to IE5 on the mac too

Many of the most advanced features (luckily most not used by the DynAPI)
are not supported at all in 4.5 and quite a few are incompletely supported
by 5.

Unfortunately I don't have a mac myself at present so i cannot give further
information, however it is worth noting that IE5.5 PC and IE5 mac are very
similar (bugs like transparent layers not capturing events etc are held in
common)

As I am no longer familiar with the DynAPI I'm afraid that this is all I
can offer at present, I may try to list all problems I encounter as I am
currently developing a very complex DHTML API of my own for a project I am
on which requires support for:

NS 4.08 upto NS6 PC and Mac
IE 4-5.5 PC and Mac

Which means I spend most of my time cursing macintoshes!

Comment:
As far as I can see there must be something wrong with the initialization
routine of the Dynlayer. I don't get any Javascript Error Messages and the
Dynlayers don't show up anywhere. However, everything worked fine in all
other browsers.
