Web focus of dialog lists

HCL Domino Domino Forum

Hi Gang,I have a standard header subform that displays on various web forms. The subform incorporates some mouseover functionality that when triggered expands a ‘drop down’ list of selections.

When the drop down list expands over main form content, the list gets the main focus over text and certain field types (like text, checkbox, and radio buttons). However, if I have fields of type dialoglist or combobox on the form, the drop down list gets placed ‘behind’ these fields and their values don’t get display.

Is there a workaround or is this just the way that the different field types work on the web?

Any insight would be appreciated, and I hope I was able to explain my scenario clearly enough.

Thanks

Bob

one can use iframes to gain hight z-index than a select in IE6, its the only way (other than the method of setting the opacity/visibility of the select) to achieve this effect
