Hi Evans, the problem is neither linked both to scriptaculous and your CSS. This is a well-known IE bug. The only way that you have to render a popup over the <select> items is with an iframe (only in IE). This is not so clear, and is totally invalid if you have a page XHTML 1.0 Strict... but it's the only solution. Another way you can follow (only if the popup overrides completely the select boxes you can hide them when the popup is visible then re-show them on the popup close event.
Sorry for my poor and non-understandable English :) Cheers.

I have a really weird situation on one page with IE 6 & 7 where the pop up appears over the browser content, but two drop downs under the pop up bleed right through and look as if they're in the pop up. (It works fine in FF, naturally.) I tried increasing the z-index value in the CSS for the pop up, but this had no affect. Here is the CSS for the pop up. .popup_panel { position: absolute; text-align: left; top: 100px; left: 180px; margin: 0 0 1px 0; border: 2px solid #555; z-index: 100; background-color: #fff; color: #999; } And the JS code that displays the pop up looks like this: var url='modules.php?mod=players&req=addplayer'; displayText('popup_space',url); $('popup_space').show(); return false; popup_space is set at the top of the header.html, main template file: <div id="popup_space" style="display: none;"></div> I'm baffled at this point, so any advice would be greatly appreciated.
