DHTML Dropdown menu hidden under form elements
Is there any way around the way that div's used in a pop up menu do not overlap select elements in a form. Do you know what I mean? The div's show fine above text fields and other form element but dissapear behind selects.
Is there any way around this?Brook Davies

I've seen on Microsoft that they seem to dynamically make the element hidden (CSS).

Hiding Elements
Gheez, that seems like a lot of work (in my instance) since the page is dynamic and I don't really know which form element will be affected and hiding them all would just look funny. This ones gonna be tough I think...

This may help. An excerpt from the link at the end.
In general, all elements are windowless and will participate in z-order overlapping. However, some objects are windowed. ActiveX Controls that have not been specifically written to be windowless will not overlap with other objects. iframe elements represent a window object, and window objects do not participate in z-order. Another exception in Internet Explorer 4.0 is the select element.

Another good article. Bummer about there being no getting around this problem. We've got the same problem and are considering different things like moving the select box or wondering if a DHTML menu should replace the select box.
