Actually, images are the one exception. You can just use an IFRAME instead
of an IMG element.

In noticed this image-over-formfield thing to be quite buggy in combination
with dhtml placing, buggy to say the least, and so I consider it a no
option..

The Iframe idea is possible but I would defenetly advice aginast it: it puts
a lot of unnesesary overhead to your code since you have to work with
targetted pages, I also noticed that NS6 isn't really all that happy with
using multiple Iframes.. (excluding them from the z-index for instance..)

It does add overhead, but it's a solution... anyway, I realized that it
might not work in IE 5.5 or greater, which treats the <IFRAME> element as
windowless.

IFrame is very nice. I like it a lot. But when we think about writing a multiplatform
website, it's no good to use the most advanced techniques, since Netscape
and some older browsers cannot understand these techniques.
Internet Explorer is the best browser for DHTML.
