Overlayed div's & mouseover event

[zer0x]

Hi all,

If I absolutely position div 'B' (z-index:2) over the top of div 'A' (z-index:1) so that div 'A' is completely obscured by div 'B', is there any way I can detect a mouseover of the obscured div 'A' ?

The simple answer is no.

The long answer is kind of.

you can monitor where the mouse is on the page and manually decide if its over that element.

Thank you Clint, quick reply!
Looks like I'm going to have to change my entire approach somewhat!

I have managed to implement this solution with a little help from jQuery/UI.
It works surprisingly well, I was expecting a great deal of lag and/or bad behavior!

Thanks again Clint! I would probably still be searching for a non-existent solution if it was not for your quick reply!

Is it worth me posting the relevant code here? even though it is jQuery/UI ?
