Cant any one tell me, if it is possible to overlap HTML select element with a layer(DIV)? This layer is a sort of tooltip. Is there any way other than hiding the select element? <br />
<br />
Thanx in advance<!--content-->not possible, you have to hide the select element as it is controlled by the OS not your browser.<!--content-->This is really off the wall and I have not tried it BUT<br />
what if you made the <div> initially visibility:hidden and it had a higher z-index than the select. When you mouse-over or whatever, you change the visibility from hidden ???<!--content-->This is really off the wall and I have not tried it BUT<br />
what if you mad the <div> initially visibility:hidden and it had a higher z-index than the select. When you mouse-over or whatever, you change the visibility from hidden ???<!--content-->it doesn't matter. the select is not effected by the z-index.<!--content-->what part of NO don't you understand ?

(above is not quite correct, as different browsers implement different grades, e.g. past versions were worse than never versions, but the point is here: once a browser let the form elements show through dynamic html elements then there is nothing you can do to reverse it !!)<!--content-->true KD, but I meant that the select is loaded from the OS not the browser. I didn't mean you can't control it. this also reflects why you can't color the down arrow and the scrioll bar.<!--content-->this also reflects why you can't color the down arrow and the scrioll bar. <br />

I am still learning CSS, but what am I missing? I believe I read this does not work across all browsers...<br />

Joel<!--content-->I believe that works in IE only but I am not sure about the newer versions of the other browsers.<!--content-->correct, it will only work in IE and it will only do the elements the browser has control of and the select is not one of them, nor is the file input.<!--content-->Originally posted by scoutt <br />
