FP2000: Netscape Browsers Unable to Display Absolutely Positioned Text with DHTML Effect (219716)
The information in this article applies to:
This article was previously published under Q219716 SYMPTOMS
When you use absolute positioning on text that also has a Dynamic Hypertext Markup Language (DHTML) effect applied to it, the text does not appear in the Netscape 4.0 or later browsers.
If you preview the page in Netscape 3.0, you see the text, but the animation and absolute positioning do not appear.
If you view the page in Internet Explorer 4 or Internet Explorer 5, the page displays correctly.
CAUSE
If you use absolute positioning on text that also has a DHTML effect applied to it, the text will not display in the Netscape 4.0 or later browsers.
The Netscape Browsers do not support absolutely positioned elements that have DHTML effects applied to them.
MORE INFORMATION
To work around this issue, do not apply DHTML effects to absolutely positioned items if your intended audience includes Netscape users. Many of the Netscape users will not be able to see these objects.
However, Internet Explorer 4 and 5 fully support this functionality.
