Firefox cursor bug

Hi,

Please try the textarea in this page with Firefox:
http://azer.kodfabrik.com/textarea_ffbug.html

Firefox cant display text cursor.How can i solve this problem, here are the codes:

Code:

<html>
<style>

	.a {  position:absolute;  z-index:1; width:400px; height:400px; background:red; overflow:scroll; }
	textarea { position:absolute; z-index:2; top:20px; left:20px;  width:300px; height:300px; }
</style>
<body>
	<textarea></textarea>
	<div class="a"></div>
	
</body></html>

p.s.: i know, if textarea used in a div, firefox shows cursor. but it's not a solution.

Works fine for me with FF 1.5

I'd start by choosing a full, complete and valid DOCTYPE to get all the modern browsers (IE 6, IE 7, Firefox, Opera, Konqueror, Safari, etc...) on the same page (as far as rendering rules go). Then go from there.

The problem actually occurs with overflow:scroll but I forgot the story behind it. If you remove that, it should work. I'll try and find my note about it.

EDIT: Well, I didn't finish what I was writing and can't make too much sense of it. Something about using absolute positioning and overflow where one overlaps the other, which is what is happening in this case. I think they interfere with each others display or whatever.
