DIV's and drop down menus (SELECT)

[Randy]

I have a DIV that is positioned and made visible based on the mouse location
when certain things are rolled over. The
problem is, if there are any drop down menus in a FORM on the page, my "pop-up"
DIV shows behind it! I tried putting the drop
downs in a DIV and setting their z-index below my DIV, and that doesn't work.
I can put the drop down menus in a DIV
and then hide them when my DIV shows... the problem there is that because
I position the DIV based on the
mouse location I have no way of knowing if it is in the area of a drop down.
So I'd have to hide them all every time... which is
dumb.

Any ideas?

Randy,

Did you ever get an answer to "overlaying" select boxes? I also tried zindexes
and it doesn't work. The only solution I could find was to hide the combo
(select) boxes with a style property (and then unhide them when done).

This is a pain and I've got to think that it's some sort of bug with IE.

If you find the answer, I'd like to know!
