Details

If a DIV is positioned absolutely the entire DIV (including the part of the DIV containing no text) reacts to onMouseOver. If the position: absolute attribute is removed, only the area of the DIV containing text responds to onMouseOver.

Fixed. Here's the code I used to test it. <HTML> <BODY> <div onmouseover="dump('mouseover div 1\n');" onmousedown="dump('mousedown div 1\n');"> Div 1 <p> More stuff in Div1 </div> <div style="position: absolute; top: 100px; left: 100px" onmouseover="dump('mouseover div 2\n');" onmousedown="dump('mousedown div 2\n');"> Div 2 <p> More stuff in Div2 </div> </BODY> </HTML>
