Drop down calendar problem

[thozhayan]

Hi all

I have a drop down calender. It works perfectly in FF and IE7 but in IE6 calendar goes behind combo box.

Any thought in this regard is much appreciated :)

IE6 always puts <select> in front of everything else
Opera 8 always puts <iframe> in front of everything else.

The only fix for these two is to hide those elements when you want something else to appear in front.

Flash files exhibit the same behaviour in all browsers if the wmode is set to the default value of 'window' but that can be corrected in the HTML by specifying that wmode of 'transparent' or 'opaque' should be used instead.

All other elements in all browsers behave themselves and obey zIndex instructions (at least I have not come across any other exceptions).

Some widgets in some browsers cannot be covered. A common tactic in that case is to hide the offending widget or, less often, move it out of the way when the calendar is active.

Thanks for the replays :)
