Problem with fields in front of popup

[Chri]

I don't know what my problem is. I couldn't get any help in HTML forum, so I'm trying here now.

I have a javascript popup calendar (Epoch). When you click on the date field, the two appt time fields below it appear on top of the popup. Can anyone suggest a fix? This only happens in IE!



Here is the code

	var bas_cal,dp_cal,ms_cal;      
window.onload = function () {
	dp_cal  = new Epoch('epoch_popup','popup',document.getElementById('popup_container'));
};

IE puts select lists in front of everything else on the page. You need to either hide the select lists when the calendar pops up or move them so that they don't overlap.

Moving them into an iframe would also fix the problem for IE but as Opera has the same problem with iframes that IE has with select lists it would just be transferring the problem to a different browser if you do that.

Thanks. Can you give me an idea of how I might hide the select list upon popup? Would this be a javascript?

To hide them both you need:

document.getElementByID('SecondChoiceTime').style.display = 'none';
document.getElementByID('ThirdChoiceTime').style.display = 'none';

To show them again use 'block' in place of 'none'.

This needs to be added around the code that makes the calendar appear and disappear which will probably be somewhere inside the Epoch classes Javascript.
