[thelist] Firefox, layers, form elements are showing through....[SOLVED]

[Anthony Baratta]

OK - got it.

I still think it's a browser bug, but I have a clean work around for it now. Here's how the check box columns were previously setup in HTML:

<div column One>
    <div> check box</div>
    <div> title text </div>
    <div> hidden dhtml text</div>
</div>
<div column Two>
    <div> check box</div>
    <div> title text </div>
    <div> hidden dhtml text</div>
</div>

rinse, lather, repeat.

After dinking around with static text I moved the hidden div to outside the container div. Problem went away.

<div column One>
    <div> check box</div>
    <div> title text </div>
</div>
<div> hidden dhtml text</div>

<div column Two>
    <div> check box</div>
    <div> title text </div>
</div>
<div> hidden dhtml text</div>

And there was much rejoicing.

Apparently, Firefox doesn't like hidden divs within floated divs to be positioned absolutely. Anyway - this solves the cross browser issue. But I still think it's a browser bug with Firefox. Hopefully my bug report to Bugzilla and follow up information will help.

Thanks for the help.
