Hey Guys, I'm looking a solution for my css dropdown menu when this is displayed over a combobox. I supose you know about this IE problem. The poin is I don't know how to tell my combobox get hidden when a menu div is over it. Some ideas? Thanks a lot for the answers
For the best practical solution, move things around so there is no longer a conflict. The problem arises because IE still uses a windowed widget[1] for the select element, while modern browsers have a non-windowed widget. IE7 will go with the non-windowed. cheers, gary [1] It is in an os provided window, and not a part of the browser window.
Thanks kk5st but I do not understand what are you refer with "move things around", do you mean I must not use select tags in the "menu display area?". I can not do that :S
There are scripted methods of making the select element {display: none;} when a menu dropdown occurs, but they are a pita and not worth the effort. Just rearrange the design so that its location in not in the path of the menu dropdown. If your designer balks at making the change, just point out that the page will suck without it and that you will not hesitate to point the finger of blame in the direction of a lazy designer. cheers, gary
Is it a live internet site, or an intranet webapp? If it's only seen by a select few, it's acceptable to hide the combo box when you display the div
