Form field-menu layer conflict

[Roger]

I have a template which is a 2x2 table with the editable region in the lower
right cell. In the lower left I have a vertical menu with submenus on
layers. The submenus extend into the content area. This is fine if the
content is text but if I have a form then form fields, like dropdowns,
appear on top of the submenu leaf.

Anyone have any ideas?

Redesign the page, or use custom javascript to hide the form element when
the menu opens.

All Active content on a page will always rise to the top, so to speak,
including Flash, certain form elements, Java applets, and Active X controls.
This means that each of these will poke through layers.

Hi Roger,

Form elements and other active content do not abide by z-order rules. To correct you'll need to have the script make all form
elements hidden just before the menu is displayed.

Thanks. I was able to move the form elements out of the way.

Thanks. I moved the form elements. I appreciate your explaination.

Good luck. Hiding the form element works pretty well, too (or whisking it
offscreen)....
