Layers losing visibility when mouseOver text

[Streetdaddy]

I have some simple <DIV> layers that are made visible when the user rolls over a button image. But when I mouseOver text in the layer, the layer seems to 'flicker'. I can't reproduce it every time, but it only seems to be an IE problem.

Has anyone ever experienced this before? I think the <DIV> background image is what is flickering... s-) Miles

I have had this before, when I was making a pop up menu with links inside. Apparently the browser thinks you are mousing out of the div when the mouse goes over text, or links.

I accidentally avoided this because I was capturing mouseOver documentwide in order to change the class of the links (I had not found out about hover yet!). I am not sure why this stopped the problem. ;-)

so you gave the text and links mouseOver behaviours as well? Miles

No I only had links in there - but if you can stop the event from happening then it should work. IE5 has a cancelBubble function - which stops events being passed on to document level - so if the div doesn't know mouseout occurs - it won't hide, hope this helps:
