I have been playing with a page design that would use a 'circular'
area in the middle rather than the standard boring square box world
of tables and frames. I have the design itself layed out using a
couple of 'div' layers including transparent gifs in 'higher' zIndex
layers to create the circular 'window' to the lower layers.
But now I am learning that although I can see the HTML on the lower
layer, the transparent gif layer above it is intercepting all the of
the mouse activity and thus I can't click any links, and/or access any
forms without using tab and spacebar.
Is there any easy way to pass the mouse events through to the lower
layer and/or to have the higher layer ignore them entirely so the
lower layers can receive them where appropriate?

Catherine,
The problem you have is focus. because the layer with the circle has the
focus - having a higher z index, lowering the z index of course defeats the
purpose :(
the only get around i can think of would be to disguise the upper layer -
and use the area tag to create the impression of browsers clicking on the
lower table.
hope this helps

why not just 'image-map' the top adiv, lining the area maps with the
existing areas in the lower below

Well the problem is that the inner 'window' portion is going to be a
generic content frame - probably in iframe layer as I am still not
finding an easy way to include newly introduced scripting or ASP items
without a fuss in a 'loaded' context for a DIV layer. As a result,
the 'content' in the center area might as well be considered as
undefined or unknown as far as the program layer or the outer 'frame'
of HTML is concerned.
I am hoping not to have to slice up the inner 'corner' peices if at
all possible as I am still having a fuss of a time finding a way to
track the bottom and right sides with the inside peices of the
corners. At least by cutting it down to peices like that, it means
the layer covers less of that internal window, but in the event that I
have to go to scripting to move the right and bottom facets of the
frame portions, that would be a nightmare if those peices were cut up
into multiple slices....

Hi all,
I'm working on an educational applet for a child with special needs.
He's got a bit of a trick to make my life more difficult... To interact

I am trying to capture mouse events when entering and leaving a DIV
layer. This test code works fine with IE 6.0 and Opera 7.21 but fails
with Mozilla/Netscape. The strange thing is that the mouse events
respond continuously whenever the mouse is moving inside the DIV area.
Does anybody have a clue about what is happenning ?

Does anyone know a good method of preventing keyboard and mouse events from
interrupting processing?
My situation is:

2) I need to perform processing on certain key/mouse events
3) If key/mouse events interrupt processing, the events should not be
discarded since they need to be handled but AFTER the current processing is
