Select boxes and z-index

[mercury7]

I have a layer contaiining some html select boxes which has a z-index of 3. I also have a absolutely positioned layer which has a z-index of 30 (as in thirty).

The problem is that the layer withan index of 30 displays on top of the layer with a z-index of three, except for the select boxes.

It doesn't matter what i set the z-index of that second layer to, the select boxes in IE always display on top.

Does anyone know why?

Form elements, as window objects, appear to be exempt from any z-indicies. Perhaps an article written by our very own Khalid Ali (http://www.webreference.com/programming/javascript/form/index.html) will be helpful to you.

Thanks Jona, I found the answer in that article.
