test cases to follow...

While working on bug http://www.openlaszlo.org/jira/browse/LPP-2357 , I have come to what seems like an impasse in different
behavior of mouse event propagation in Firefox (and swf) and Internet Explorer 6 (windows).
The issue is that in Firefox and SWF, if you have a view which is obscuring another view, and you click on it, as
long as the clicked view does not have a "onclick" handler, the click is passed to the view behind it, regardless of the
containment hierarchy. The runtime looks only at the geometric placement of the objects.
In IE however, events only "bubble" up the document element containment hierarchy. So a view which is geometrically behind another view, but is not in the the containing view chain, will never see that mouse clicks, regardless of whether the front view has a handler set or not.
I don't know an easy workaround for this at the event level. As far as application design, it seems like most apps could be designed to work around
this by not relying on events being passed through views which are in disjoint containment hierarchies, I guess.
Anyone know a way to make IE act like Firefox in this behavior??
