You need to put an iframe into your windows to cover any underlying select boxes - check this out: http://www.net4visions.com/dev/dialog/dialog.htm
-----Original Message----- From: Josh [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, September 26, 2006 5:42 PM To: Ruby on Rails: Spinoffs Subject: [Rails-spinoffs] Select overlays all DHTML components in IE The site I am creating contains windows that can be dragged around the page (think desktop). When one of those windows contains a SELECT element, it always overlays all of the other elements on the page. This is, of course, a problem with the windowing effect as the select box appears above other windows. This is only a problem in IE. Per my research, the problem is due to SELECT elements being rendered by the OS and not the browser itself and means that we cannot set the z-index of the element. The most promising solution I found online involved using an IFRAME to hide the SELECT element when another window floats over the one containing the SELECT. It seems that this would be a fairly common problem, so I hope that there may be a pre-existing solution to the problem or that the library already contains handling that I have not found. Any thoughts? Has anyone encountered this problem before? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Spinoffs" group.
