Hi Allan,

Here's an interesting non iframes solution to this IE6 bug - http://www.webmasterworld.com/forum83/8462.htm and a general discussion - http://shepherdweb.com/2007/02/14/z-index-ignored-for-select-element-in-ie-6-workaround/

Hope you've not been bombarded with suggestions this morning, I just get the daily digest..

Morning all,

The list has been a bit quiet recently so I thought i'd pick you brains this 
Monday morning.

Our website http://www.dreamhomesww.com/
has some tabs at the top which have javascript drop down menu.

The 3rd tab (Dubai, UAE Freehold) is the one that is giving the problem.
The orange dropdown menu hides behind the text boxes of the search box on the 
left.
It seems that this is only happening in IE6 because when I look in Firefox 2, 
Safari or IE7 it drops down in front of the text boxes correctly. Any ideas on 
this?

Thanks
Allan

Yup, that's because the drop downs are rendered differently to other
elements on the page.

One way around this is to hide them when you show the Dubai menu.

This is a known issue with older browsers and there is little you can do to overcome this apart from using Iframes (but thats very much frowned upon).

Best bet is to move the tab.
