Div element on top of a img question

[okiiyama]

I have an image that has z-index: -1 and then a div element on top of that image z-index:. The div tag has cursor: pointer, an onClick function and a onMouseOver function. When there is text in the div tag everything is okay, but once the text is removed, it is as if the div tag is not there. The cursor does not change to the pointer and the onClick and onMouseOver functions don't occur. Is there an attribute I could use similar to empty-cells: show; ?

Thanks.

What does define this div? If there is no set width or height and it has no content, what else than being 0x0 block do you expect?

So... you could set the width and height of the div explicitly using something like:

<div style="width:42em;height:18em;"></div>

That'll scale nicely as the user changes font size to.

Cheers,

Sorry, I forgot to mention that the dimension properties are set in CSS. Anyways, I may have solved the problem. I added in the css class for the div in question, 2 lines:

background-image: url(images/trans_bg.gif);
background-repeat: repeat;

For now, that seems to be working.
