Hey all, I'm well aware of the IE6-specifc problem regarding SELECT-boxes showing through a overlay div, and its usual fix (putting an iFrame with certain properties right under the overlay div), but I've just come across something new, related to this. Why I've never seen this before, I don't know.
Go to http://www.costumehub.com/mascot-costumes and click on any "QUICK VIEW" button. You'll see a overlay div popup show up, that hides the SELECT fields, like it obviously should. Works in IE6/7/8, Firefox, Safari, etc. Now the problem occurs when you actually CLICK ON ANY OF THOSE SELECT BOXES -- even though the initial SELECT is hidden, the OPTIONS aren't. In every browser I've tested, this happens. So right now I'm wondering if this is something that can actually be fixed or not -- I read before that select dropdowns are part of the OS pr DOM or whatever, that makes them hard to hide (hence the original IE6 issue). Am I missing something here or is this really something that can't be fixed? The fact that it occurs in all browsers I've tested, on both Windows and MAC, makes me wonder about it's fixability too (yes, I guess I just invented that word!). So if the answer is simply "can't overlap select box options, ever", then I'm happy. A Google search for "css select option overlap div 'z-index' form" didn't really give me exactly the answer. Note: yep, I know that the page won't validate, but I can't do much about that myself; it's the result of dozens of people working on pages like these, being a combination of six hundred and twenty three languages and techniques. I just want to fix the quickview popup hiding the options of the select boxes -- or have confirmation that it can't be fixed, that's my only worry for now. Thanks for your help all, mS ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [[email protected]] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ List policies -- http://css-discuss.org/policies.html Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
