| English garden party...
|
| Lady Rathbone-Jones was holding a garden party. The guests were

| and sipping tea from fine cups. Around the host were some extremely
| high ranking guests. Suddenly, her ladyship involuntarily passed
| wind loudly.

Ah, that's nothing.

In 1910, the Queen of England held a gala dinner, in honor of the newly
appointed ambassadors of Spain, France, and Prussia. She was suffering
from maldigestion at that time, but that's no reason (for a queen) to
cancel a state dinner. After the entré, she had to fart loudly, stopping
all conversation at the table. The Spanish ambassador, gentleman that he
was, immediately rose and said "My apologies, your majesty". After the
soup, the Queen again made herself heard in an ignoble manner. The
French ambassador, taking his cue from the Spaniard, rose and apologized
for the windy intermission. After the main course, inevitably, the Queen
let another one fly. The Prussian embassador, not to be outdone by his
colleagues, rose and shouted in a booming voice: "Majesty, your current
fart and the next two belong to the great Kingdom of Prussia!"



Hm... that sounded funnier in German, with the accents and all. Anyway.
Fart jokes are always funny (at least that's what my 8 year old nephew
told me).

I did post some of the relevant CSS in my original post [0]. The overlay
<div> is a child of <body>, which has the following style attibutes set:

html, body {
height: 100%;
overflow: hidden;
}
body {
background-color: #fff;
color: #000;
margin: 0;
font-family: Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 11px;
}

The overlay <div> doesn't have any content or attributes. Its style
attributes (quoted from the OP) are:

div.MtRowHover {
position: absolute;
top: 0; /* changes dynamically (JS) */
left: 0; /* changes dynamically (JS) */
height: 17px;
width: 100%; /* see below */
border: 1px solid black;
background-color: #cd892a;
z-index: 1005;
opacity: 0.2; /* for non-IE browsers */
}

[special IE adjustment stylesheet]

div.MtRowHover {
filter: alpha(opacity=20);
}

(The "see below" comment refers to the original post [0].)

I can understand that this is hard (or even impossible) to debug without
an example. I guess I was hoping that somebody had seen that effect
before. If we can't find a solution soon, I'll try to post a reduced
example, if I can get the permission.

Thanks,
stefan

Trouble is you've always heard them all before

like the gentleman who let forth a stentorian wind after a Victorian
dinner

"Sir! How dare you break wind before my wife" said an indignant diner

"Oh I'm sorry, I didn't know it was her turn"
