I need some help soooon! We are days away from launching our site and we have a script conflict.

See this URL for sample of problem:
http://net.unl.edu/excludes/nptv/np...netv_sched.html

The pulldown menu disappears behind the form elements on this page. Since the form elements are an embedded feed from PBS we can't change that. Is there any solution to this problem of disappearing menus (or menus dropping out behind the form elements)?

email me at pengelhard1@unl.edu. Im up to my neck in launch details.

Your link did not work.

However, your problem is a common one. Forms, objects, applets and embeds have priority over DHTML. These things are actually "windowed" objects rather than browser objects.

There is nothing you can do except move things or control the visibility of the offending items while the menu is active.

I hate these kind of problems! They happen to me too! You can probably fix that by putting z-index:101; in the stylesheet. Your link doesn't work. Try taking the ... out of it.:)

Zach:

Forms and the other "windowed" object I listed do not have a "z-index". That is part of the problem.

That is a nice site!! I hate these problems even more. For some reason, selects stay above something, even if it has a z-index thing. I don't know how to fix it. This may be a browser bug. Try moving the select down a little.:)
