IE Pop Up with Select Input problem

[laurin1]

I'm looking for ideas to resolve this issue. If you don't know what I'm talking about, Internet Explorer behaves badly when popping up JavaScript menus over SELECT type Input elements (they always show through your menu.)

The two methods I've seen are these:

Use an iframe backing

Hide the select statement

The first one worked great...until some of my users reported that their screens were getting all garbled. It seems that some video cards (the only thing different in their machines) really don't like moving iframes. In fact, they don't like scrolling when there's an iframe on the screen at all. Other than that, it's an awesome solution.

I have tried the second, as these forms are HUGE and with the number of SELECT elements, I can’t imagine this won’t have a negative performance impact.

Any other ideas (or perhaps an I idea why the first acts up on those machines)?

Perhaps the users video card drivers need updating. If they can't scroll properly, that's not your problem, so I'd run with the first solution.

Hope this helps,

Tried video card driver. These are all internal users, so it IS my problem. I support the network and build the applications.
