Question

Has anyone had a problem with creating a css layer and positioning it over a combo box in IE (5.5)? I have already tried putting my combo box on a seperate layer and positioning it below the other layer but still can't seem to get the combo box to go beneath the css layer.

What I am actually doing is having a drop down menu, when the menu drops down it is being positioned over a combo box that is already on the page.

Any help would be great! Thanks.

combo box/layer

try this. allows you to show & hide controls in the same space by manipulating visibility of the layers.

For whatever reason, if you embed your form objects,<br />
no matter what they are, into seperate forms, you are<br />
then able to use style containers, defined to overlay one<br />
another, to hide or show the various element sets as you see fit.<br />

thanks

Thanks for your help guys! I have just decided to have it hide the combobox when the dropdown menu comes down, never even thought about it.
