Workaround for SelectBox under IE - how?

[Armin Gajda]

Hi,

we probably all know the problem that select boxes under IE are always
overlap DIV layers.
Afaik there are two workarounds:

1. hiding the select box
2. IFrame beneath the DIV layer

But I don't know how to do that.

We want to show a DIV layer as tooltip.
The DIV layer has no defined size (neither a width nor a height
attribute). The size depends on the text the user defined for the tooltip.

My questions:

1. How can I know when the tooltip is 'over' a select box, so I can hide it.

2. How can I define an IFrame that has the same size as the tooltip,
when I don't know the tooltip's size?

thank you

bye Armin

Already found a solution for 2:

offsetHeight and offsetWidth returns the current dimension of the tooltip.
