problem: iframe element disappears when mousedown anywhere in the body.
Browser: IE8
Hi there,
I have created a drop down menu that drops down over an ActiveX object, so I had to create an iframe element dynamically under each drop down so that I could interact with the z-index of both the ActiveX and the html (otherwise the menu doesn't show as an object element is always on top). This iframe creation and hiding is done on the mouseenter and mouseleave events respectively of the menu.
My problem is when I mousedown anywhere in the body (except in the AcitveX object) my iframe element disappears and my dropdown gets chopped off (because the ActiveX is covering it again). The mousedown is not firing my functions that create or hide the iframe either one. It's something global, but I just can't seem to find the problem.
Any ideas?
