Thanks for the reply Ryan. I had already tried what you suggested,
and that's how I determined that the Button wasn't registering that
the mouse pointer was over it. I figured something was blocking or
intercepting the mouse position, I just couldn't figure out what.
It ended up being a style sheet issue. The root Panel had a style
that set header-height to 30. Once I set that to 0 my button worked.
BTW, if I set it to something like 10, only the lower 1/2 of the
button would register that the mouse was over it.
I would have never figured that out if it weren't for the fact that I
saw this happen on another UI, but I could moseOver the bottom few
pixels of the Button because it hadn't been positioned correctly.
So, lesson learned. Don't set a header-height if you're going to
stick buttons up in the header area.
Thanks,
Geoff
