Regarding the z-index and the drop-down showing behind, here is another solution. Look at this site:
http://www.cabovillas.com/ Notice on the right hand side under "Property Search", there are some select menus. Up above on the navigation if you hover over "General Info" or "Company Info", look closely underneath the menus the actual select menus have disappeared. This is one solution, just hide using CSS when you mouse over your menus. something like: document.getElementById('selectMenu1').style.visibility = 'hidden'; // or style.display = 'none'; Something to that effect. HTH.
