Question Hello Erica,
I am a Web Designer. I am facing a problem in DHTML in a site called www.hyperstrings.com. Here i have used div tag to show sub menus and there is one jumpmenu below in the same page. Now when i view the div layer it hides behind the jump menu. Please tell me how to bring the div layer over the jumpmenu in DHTML. I am using Dream Weaver MX 2004.
Answer Hello and thank you for the question!
The problem is as follows:
You are creating a DHTML element which doesn't have precedence over windows elements. The SELECT element is a windows element and will therefore be shown on top of DHTML elements any day. The same goes for the text boxes and buttons to, I beleive.
The best approach for your issue is to put the SELECT box inside a div and give it an id. Then when the menu is showing, hide the SELECT box. When the menu is not showing, make the SELECT box visible again.
I hope that helps you somewhat to an answer to your problem. In case you want to know, setting the z-index will not work either because that only works for purely DHTML elements, not windows elements. I beleive this is being worked on in some of the browsers, but I don't know for sure.
Thanks for the question and have a nice day!
Erica
