Layers and selectbox

[Chiel]

hi there,

I'm trying to show a <div></div> over a form containing a selectbox, radiobutton
and a textbox. The layer 'falls over' all the elements, except the selectbox.
The select box is always shown on top with the layer behind it. I tried the
z-index, but that doesn't work.
Anyone have an idea ?
Thanx

The Select box is considered a windowed element whereas the rest of the elements
on the page are considered windowless elements. Unfortunately, the windowed
and windowless elements are each displayed on seperate planes. Within a
plane the Z-index works to provide the layering, but the Z-index does not
work across planes.

One possibility is to use the IFRAME tag, which will display on the windowed
element plane and then you can apply the Z-index so the IFRAME sits on top
of the Select element.
