Hi guys,

I have an absolutely positionned div on my page (I am making a dynamic
dropdown menu). But there's a textbox just below the menu system.
Unfortunately the textbox overlaps the div, consequently the last items of
the menus are hidden under that textbox...

What is the problem ??

Thanks in advance.....

You need to utilize the "z-index" attribute; This allows
elements to exist on different layers of your interface's
layour (i.e., a text box below a DIV or a SPAN).

Do a search for "css z-index" and you should find the
information you need.

I know what z-index is. But that doesn't work, even when I set it to
10000000!!!!

Ah... Right.

Well, i'm at a loss as to how you achieving this. Some
form elements do, always, bleed through overlaying
elements (such as SELECT's (see below posts)). So, i'm at
a loss as to why/how you're doing this with a textarea and
a div.

But, in the past, z-index has failed me when i improperly
set it. For example, in HTML you'd set it like "z-
index:666", while in jscript you do
it "object.style.zindex=666".

Other than that, sounds like you know your stuff.
Good luck.

I just found something. I will use Popup objects instead of absolutely
positionned divs for the dropdown menus..... They overlap everything, and
you don't need to specify and even handler to unload they since they do that
automatically....
