Blinking cursor in Firefox 2 bleeds through divs...

I have a weird problem I'm running into again, but haven't been able to find a fix. In FF2, when I place a <div /> over an <input /> element that currently has focus, the blinking cursor shows up through the top layer.

I put together this little video to show off the problem:

Here's a working example of the bug. If you open the page in Firefox 2, you should see the cursor blinking in the middle of the word overlay.

Does anyone know of a fix for this problem?

Sorta like is done http://users.tpg.com.au/j_birch/plugins/superfish/... on bgiframe example.

I have no idea just a suggestion.

Adrian Lynch's Gravatar Not ideal, but you could remove focus from the input when the menu is extended, then return it when the menu is retracted.
