Hi folks! I havent seen this in the solution, but i will explain anyway...
When having a layer with html/text and that layer have a onclick or onmouseover or something else. In WinIE there is no problem. In MacIE if clicking or dragging over the text of the layer, the action is not invoked. Does the solution cover this part? Will the background image fix this problem? In my brain, this wont solve this problem. The only solution i see, is to add a transparent gif in a layer over this layer. As the text always will be ontop of the bg image in the bottom layer, and if the text-properties(?) does not change i really dont see the solution. Please enlighten me about how this will solve our problem.
