Will it ever be possible place controls over browser widget?

[Brian Milby]

Just tried a native Mac button over the browser widget. Clicks do get received, but the button is not drawn over the browser. The Mac native single line field will layer over/under the native button fine. And as expected, if you create a giant button and cover everything, then it is only responsive where it is not covered by a native layer control.

-hh’s demo is the one I was remembering.

Thanks,
Brian
