Combo Box Covered by Pop Up

[Duke750 webforumsuser@macromedia.com]

I have a couple pages with forms. On the pages with forms with combo box drop downs the combo box is in front of the popup menu. Can I get the combo box behind the popup menu?

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 they do poke through layers. There is not a good
cross-browser/platform reliable way to solve this issue, but if you can be
confident in your visitors using IE 5+ or NN6+, then you can use the CSS
wmode parameter. Doesn't work in all browsers (NN4) but it's implemented
into latest netscape:

This means that you will probably have to either move the menus or move the
form.

Nope. "Active" elements like Forms, Flash movies, Java applets, activeX
elements always remain on top. The best work around is to redesign to
eliminate the overlap.

Nope. It's only the combo box that is actively redrawn.

> the thing is, all the other items on forms (text boxes, submit buttons)

are behind the popup and combos are in front. So I would think that if a
text box and submit button is behind, then a combo could be placed behind.
