Hi Folks,<br />
<br />
i messed up a little bit with html and layers and i found a strange bug ?!? when using ie. i created a first layer enclosing a drop down menu. a second layer should appear in foreground, so that the first layer is shown behind the second one. but ie wont do that, the drop down is always foreground. code is as follows and very simple:<br />
<br />
<br />
<HTML><br />
<BODY><br />
<br />
<div STYLE="position:absolute;left:0px;top:0px;width:100%;height:100%;background-color:00FF00;z-index:0"><br />
<select><br />
<option> dropdown </option><br />
</select><br />
</div><br />
<br />
<div STYLE="position:absolute;left:0px;top:0px;width:100%;height:100%;background-color:00FF00;z-index:1"><br />
test<BR>test<BR>test<BR><br />
</div><br />
<br />
</BODY><br />
</HTML> <br />
<br />
<br />
Any suggestions how to solve the problem or bypass the bug? thx in advance<br />
<br />
so long<br />
Daniel<!--content-->it is not a bug, all browsers do this. what is happening is the a drop down box cannot be controlled by the z-index because it is a windowed-element, meaning it is sitting higher than anything on the page, besides another wiondowed-element.<br />
<br />
what you need to do is hide the drop down box . that is the only fix.<!--content-->
