Combo box is always on the top

Simon

I would like to have div tag over combo box, not combo box over div tag.
I have this problem on many pages usually when I use drop down menus.
I try to solve this problem with z-index but it doesn't work.
Have anybody some idea?

Here is the simple example:

<html>
<head>
</HEAD>
<BODY>
<SELECT id=select1 name=select1 style="z-index:1">

<OPTION>this is select box</OPTION>

</SELECT>

<div name="div1" id="div1"
style="position:absolute;margin-left:-100;margin-top:0;z-index:10">

<table bgcolor="Gainsboro" border="1" width=100 height=100>
<tr><td>some text</td></tr>
</table>
</div>
</body>
</html>

Thank you for your answer,
Simon

This question is off-topic for this newsgroup which is targeted for asp
(server-side) questions. Your issue is a client-side html issue, so you
would be better off following up in an html newsgroup.

Having said that, I can tell you that there is no way to prevent a dropdown
from obscuring other elements. A SELECT element is a "windowed" element,
meaning that a new window is created to implement the dropdown list. Since
it is a new window, it will be displayed "over" non-windowed elements such
as divs. Your only solution is to create your own dropdown using client-side
jscript code to manipulate a textbox and a table or div.

Again, please follow up in an html or dhtml newsgroup.

set the select display to none when the div is supposed to hide it

It looks like all they do is hide (style.display='none') any control that
would shine-through. A simple 4 or 5 line loop accomplishes that, and it
doesn't cost $60.

Sorry, but I got my hopes up.
