Javascript menu showing behind list box

[NeeNee]

I found a menu on the web and placed it at the top of one of my pages. It works great until I placed a list box at the top. When I look at the menu, it drop downs behind the list box but in front of the text. Is there a way to fix this problem. I plan on using this menu for all my web pages and inquiries.

Listboxes have the highest Z index possible, always.Therefore they will always show up on top of everything else.
There is a trick to solve this problem that a lot of menus on the web use.
Basically this is how it works.
Whenever an item from the menu is selected the listboxes/comboboxes get hidden, when the mouse is outside the menu bar the boxes are visible again.

I don't have a good reference on that trick from the top of my head, but that would get you started.

I use IFrames on my menus. Just stick an empty iFrame, the same size as your drop downs behinde everthing

JoelMac,

I am running into the exact same issue. I have never used an IFrame before. Could you give a little example of how one would be coded?

THANKS!
