Have you tried playing with an aspect of DHTML that allows control of the
order of placement on top of each other? It's called "z-index", as in
x-axis, y-axis, and z-axis (front to back).

Try playing with:

<DIV STYLE="z-index: 1;"></DIV>

using the div tags to surround the code you want to have precedence and give
it higher or lower z-index values than a div placed around the other code
you want to be "covered".

This is CSS 2 stuff, so it won't work in all browsers.

Subject: [javascript] Drop Down Menu Not Always on Top


I have written a JS menu app that drops down a pane of choices. The drop
down pane usually is "on top"
of images, text, and most controls, however it will not cover a HTML drop
down list control. The HTML drop down
list notches my drop down pane.

This will also occur if I use a Java menu applet.

Within the JS app I can hide the HTML drop down control when needed, but
this is a plan b solution and will not work with Java
applets.

I can come up with other plan b solutions but I would like a smarter
resolution, perhaps a browser property.

Thanks for any insight.
