The 'hasLayout'[1][2] concept doesn't really make sense to me either :-)
but that's mostly because it's really "a proprietary and buggy concept -
built into an absurdly buggy browser".
The IE-team say they are working hard to get the whole 'hasLayout'
concept out of future IE/win versions, but that they don't expect to be
able to get rid of it for IE7 final.
There are several problems when dealing with the 'hasLayout' mess...
1: we have to learn how to trigger, and use, 'hasLayout' when it works
to our advantage in IE/win. That may be difficult to figure out at times.
2: we have to avoid triggering 'hasLayout' when it is destroying our
design-attempts in IE/win. That is often difficult - and sometimes
impossible.
3: we have to choose 'hasLayout' triggers carefully in order to avoid
creating negative side-effects in both standard compliant browsers and
future versions of IE/win. Sometimes we must hide such triggers from
standard compliant browsers altogether.
( I think Microsoft used to include 'hasLayout' in the promotion for
their products as: "more fun" ;-) )
