I have a page at
http://www.develop.check.com.au/gilking/index.html
with a log in form contained in an absolutely positioned <div>.

It works fine in IE6 but Firefox v2 won't permit an entry in the
username field though the password and submit fields work as expected.

Can anybody shed any light on this?

The site is password protected:
username: pair
password: pair

TIA

Web Developer Bar is your friend:

Set "Outline Position Elements > Absolute" and all shall be revealed!

All I get is a blank, empty page.

It is indeed! I already had that FF extension so perhaps I should use
it more often. Problem solved.

Many thanks.

Sorry, Beauregard. You must have got there at the very instant I had
omitted a php semi-colon.

Both work, you just can't click on the username box to give it focus.
If you use tab, it works, just fine.

Removing the explicit height from the menu div or changing its z-index
will work but may, of course, cause problems elsewhere.

BTW, the fixed size you are assuming already cause some layout
problems where users want larger fonts than you expect.
