I need some help soooon! We are days away from launching our site and we have a script conflict.

See this URL for sample of problem:
[url]http://net.unl.edu/excludes/nptv/np…netv_sched.html[/url]

The pulldown menu disappears behind the form elements on this page. Since the form elements are an embedded feed from PBS we can’t change that. Is there any solution to this problem of disappearing menus (or menus dropping out behind the form elements)?

email me at [email][email protected][/email]. Im up to my neck in launch details.

Pat

@gil_davisNov 22.2002 — Your link did not work.

However, your problem is a common one. Forms, objects, applets and embeds have priority over DHTML. These things are actually "windowed" objects rather than browser objects.

There is nothing you can do except move things or control the visibility of the offending items while the menu is active.

@Zach_ElfersNov 22.2002 — I hate these kind of problems! They happen to me too! You can probably fix that by putting z-index:101; in the stylesheet. Your link doesn't work. Try taking the ... out of it.?

Forms and the other "windowed" object I listed do not have a "z-index". That is part of the problem.

@Zach_ElfersNov 22.2002 — That is a nice site!! I hate these problems even more. For some reason, selects stay above something, even if it has a z-index thing. I don't know how to fix it. This may be a browser bug. Try moving the select down a little.?

Success!
