javascript thread: menu vs drop-down box


Message #1 by "Adeola" <aoadeyemo@h...> on Mon, 14 May 2001 14:18:09
I have question on the same topic.

If you have Netscape 4.x browser then you have problem with textbox also.
Any idea to fix it?

I had a problem similar to this just last week.  Basically, if this is IE
then there is an "issue" where a SELECT is the topmost object and ignores
and z-index property.

From
http://msdn.microsoft.com/workshop/author/dhtml/reference/objects/SELECT.asp
:

"This element is a windowed control and does not support the z-index
attribute or zIndex property"

Basically, you need to jump through a LOT of hoops to get this to work
properly.  After several hours of searching and a looming test date, we had
to scrap some of our code and just move some controls so that the menu would
show properly.

I would check www.siteexperts.com.  They may have some code for this, but it
will be a bit tricky.

Hi all,
Pls help !! I have menu above a drop-down listbox. The onmouseover event
of the menu displays a list of choices/options, but unfortunately most of
these options disappear behind the drop-down listbox. It dosen't happen
when it's a textbox.
I'll be grateful for any suggestions/help
Ta
Ade'
