Thanks for your response.

I am using IE5.5. A colleague is using 5.0, and having fewer problems, but 
this one still appears.

I don't think your explanation works, now that I have investigated further. 
I have a (lot of) code that I wrote using the 11-07 release of DynAPI. I am 
now trying to reproduce it using the current version of DynAPI, including 
the GUI buttons and labels. However, I just went back and re-tested my old 
code. It works fine under the 11-07 release, but exhibits exactly the same 
problems as the GUI code does,  under the current version.

We created a very simple test. Two layers, one on top of the other, with 
text in the second layer. With simple text, everything appeared to work as 
expected. However, if the text has any HTML tags at all - e.g. make it bold 
- and the events were not received, on IE5.0 or IE5.5.

Thanks a lot. I haven't had time to try it yet, but I'll take a look and 
see if it works for me.
