I use a couple of different functions here to hide the select boxes.  Hope
this helps.

For IE4 or better we use:
function selectHideunHide(task) {
	
	for (y=0; y<document.all.length;y++) {
		if (document.all[y].tagName.toUpperCase() == "SELECT"){
		
			if (task == "hide")
document.all[y].style.visibility="hidden";
			else 
				document.all[y].style.visibility="visible";
				
		}
	}
	return;
}

Netscape 4 is a bit trickier I could not really find a way, so we
encapsulated the entire form in an IFrame, then use this to hide the form:

function selectHideunHide(task) {
	var o = null;
	if (document.layers['formlayer'] != null){
	if(task == "hide") 	document.layers['formlayer'].visibility 
"hide";
	else document.layers['formlayer'].visibility = "show";
	}
}

For Netscape 6 it is very similar to IE, actually I never tested it but this
should work for IE4 or better I believe, I forget when getElementByID was
introduced into the DOM:

function selectHideunHide(task) {
	
	for (y=0; y<document.getElementById.length;y++) {
		if (document.getElementById(y).tagName.toUpperCase() ==
"SELECT"){
		
			if (task == "hide")
document.getElementById(y).style.visibility="hidden";
			else 
	
document.getElementById(y).style.visibility="visible";
				
		}
	}
	return;
}

I have seen this problem before and the answer in that case was to use 
IE5.5 or later - we couldn't fix it in old IE
sorry...

Hello.  I have a html drop down menu below my javascript menu.  When I
click on the javascript menu, part of it is covered up by the html menu. 

How can I make it so that the javascript menu will be on top when I 
click
it?

Jeff:

I understand that it can be done, but you need to make the dropdown listbox
disappear using dhtml. It is my understanding that the listbox object has a "I
gotta be on top no matter what" attribute which is not changeable from javascript.
