Hi

I have a menu with other elements below it. The submenu items disapear below
the other elemetns on the screen. I have messed about with z-index, but dont
seem to be able to correct the problem. In addition, I have noticed that
when adding submenu items, an IFRAME appears,

Any ideas on how to resolve this would be welcome.

Thanks

if the other elements are dropdowns then this is a long standing design flaw
in IE. its been corrected in ie 7.

the problem is the actual dropdown controls (select) on on a seperate window
in front of the browser content window, so there no way with z-order to get
content in the main window on top of a select.

there are 3 common solution for pre ie 7:

1) make sure no selects are in the way.
2) when a flyout menu/ dialog is shown, turn off the display of selects
(this is how the ajax toolkit does it for popups).
3) create a dynamic floating iframe (which is a sperate window) and render
the flyout in it. (this is how the google toolkit does it for popups).
