Problem with drag and drop objects and select box

Hi,

I have a problem with Internet Explorer. When I drag a drag-and-drop
object over a select box, the select box stays in the foreground instead
of behind the dragged object.
Mozilla displays this right, other form object like text fields or
radion buttons work correct on IE, too.
Is there a workaround for this bug?

Thanx,
Jens

Yep, thats the way it works. Select lists are Windowed objects, outside
the browser (they are an OS dependent item in IE), and are immune to
z-index.

radion buttons work correct on IE, too.

That depends on what you consider "right". For Mozilla, it does it
"right" for the way Mozilla decided to implement Select Lists. For IE,
it was implemented the way it works.

Is there a workaround for this bug?

What bug?

Sorry, but for me it's not understandable why one single form element
should behave a different way than all other ones. And I can't see any
sense or benefit this behaviour has.

IFrames have the same behavior. The reason it was done that way was to
take the load off the browser and let the OS handle them. Hence they are
windowed objects. Its not a bug, its the way its designed to work and it
works that way.
