Default layer overalapped by list/menu box - 07-06-2004 , 01:23 PM






I have a form on my page as well as a drop down layer I've created that acts as
a link menu. Within the form I have a list box. Problem is that when the
layer shows up it overlaps everything except for the list box in the form. The
layer (when visible) is suppose to overlap everything. Can someone tell me why
the list box appears overtop the layer?

Active page content, like Flash, Java applets and list boxes will always
be drawn on top of other page content. Re-do the layout, or find a way
to hide the layer when the list box is active (which may or may not be
acceptable depending on your design.)

All Active content on a page will always rise to the top, so to speak,
including Flash, certain form elements, Java applets, and Active X controls.
This means that each of these will poke through layers.

The most practical solution would be to move either the layer or the form so
that they don't conflict.
