It's the general browser bug that everyone encounters at some point if
you're working a lot with DHTML. The only really satisfying workaround I've
snapped up is to put the form also in an layer (you can use an inline) and
hide the layer when not used. If you're wanted effect is to hide the form
that's the best method...
