IE 6 + CSS Error

Hey guys,
I am running into an error that only occurs with IE 6, it works perfectly in IE7 though. It seems to be a problem with css z-index or something. Here is the style sheet,

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
<style>

select {

width:150px;

}

.tbox{

position:absolute;

z-index:1;

width:130px;

}

</style>

What I want is for the .tbox ('which refers to all textboxes') to be above all select boxes. When I change the z-index for the .tbox it doesn't change? any ideas?
Thanks,
Brody Smith

Not tested.

You are missing a '.' before "select" or a '#'.
Also, for z-index to work, both elements must be positioned. Set .select to position:relative. But you don't have them overlapping in anyway right now. You can by adding 'top:0' and give some height to .tbox.

It should be <style type="text/css">

Ok I made those changes and it still doesn't work. Looking online it looks like it is a bug with IE6. It seems odd because if I do it with div layers it works just fine. but if I take a object like select box or text box and put it in the div layer it stops working. I got nothing. . .

if anyone has any other ideas let me know

By textbox do you mean <textarea>? I only assumed divs.

It works for me unless I'm still misunderstanding:

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

 
<style type="text/css">
 
.select {

width:150px;

position:relative;

height:150px;

background-color:red;

}

.tbox{

    background-color:yellow;

position:absolute;

top:0;left:0;

z-index:1;

width:130px;

height:130px;

}

</style>
 
</head>

<body>
 
<textarea class="select"></textarea>

<textarea class="tbox"></textarea>
 
</body>

That works but when you put a input type="text" and a <select></select instead of the textarea it doesn't work.

Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers

  
<style type="text/css">

.select {

width:150px;

position:relative;

height:20px;

background-color:red;

}
 
.tbox{

background-color:yellow;

position:absolute;

top:10;left:10;

z-index:1;

width:130px;

height:20px;

}

</style>

</head>

<body>

<select>class="select"></select>

<input type="text" class="tbox">

</body>

Now I understand. You are talking about selects in forms and textareas. Too late tonight to look at it.

Why does it matter whether it is something of the same type, vs 2 different types?
