hi,

am working on a site where i'm using a .js drop down menu system the shows and hides divs for the menu....problem is, whenever i rollover a menuitem any pages with forms on them hide the forms on rollover...is this a common problem?

Hiya,

It depends on what menuing system you're using; some have automated routines built into them that allow for the hiding of certain elements (most commonly form elements) that will show over the top of the menus when the menus are popped up; due to those form elements being displayed by the OS as windowed elements. Thus, the menuing system may be hiding the elements as a defensive measure; to prevent them from appearing over the top of the menus themselves in certain browsers.

If this is the case, then your menuing system probably has some type of configuration or parameter setting that would allow you to disable that behavior (assuming you'd rather take your chances with the elements overlaying the menus).

Cheers!
