Problem with dialog or listbox field in stacked layers

I am developing a web application in Notes 6 and have a problem with layers

I have a stack of 4 opaque layers, each layer contains some labels and fields

I am using javascript to manipulate the zIndex of each layer so only the layer I want displayed is shown.

If I have a Listbox field or dialog field on an opaque layer with a zIndex of 0 and I have another opaque layer with a zIndex of 1.

When displayed on the web, the dialog or listbox field on layer 0 still overlays the fields on layer 1.

Is this a feature or bug? so far I have only found this problem with list box and dialog fields, it doesn’t happen with Text fields

It’s a “feature”. That is, it has been known for a long time and no-one’s ever done anything to fix it, so it must be the way it’s supposed to work, right?

I’m afraid you have no choice but to flip the style.visibility of the peek-through element (don’t use style.display; it will change the page flow) when top layers are shown.
