Can A Child Div Position Outside the Parent Div 1

[Einstein47]

Here is the page in question Safe Info

When you click on one of the notes, a new DIV is displayed. You can move this DIV around the page by dragging the title bar of the DIV window. So far so good.

However, if you move the DIV window outside the TABLE (the blue header and the single blue line above the footer), the DIV window gets clipped. Why can't I dynamically position the DIV Window outside it's parent DIV TABLE?

The reason the TABLE has a DIV around it is so the header will stay fixed when you scroll the data in the table. This page is just an example. The real web application will have many more rows of data.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hi

[b]<div[/b] [maroon]id[/maroon][teal]=[/teal][green][i]"resultsContainer"[/i][/green] [maroon]style[/maroon][teal]=[/teal][green][i]"height: 352px; margin-top: 2em; position: relative; z-index: 10; border-bottom: 1px navy solid; [highlight]overflow: visible;[/highlight]"[/i][/green][b]>[/b]

But personally I prefer to keep styling and content separate :

[b]<div[/b] [maroon]id[/maroon][teal]=[/teal][green][i]"resultsContainer"[/i][/green][b]>[/b]

div[teal]#resultsContainer[/teal] [teal]{[/teal]
  [COLOR=coral]height:[/color] [COLOR=darkgoldenrod]352px[/color];
  [COLOR=coral]margin-top:[/color] [COLOR=darkgoldenrod]2em[/color];
  [COLOR=coral]position:[/color] [COLOR=darkgoldenrod]relative[/color];
  [COLOR=coral]z-index:[/color] [COLOR=darkgoldenrod]10[/color];
  [COLOR=coral]border-bottom:[/color] [COLOR=darkgoldenrod]1px[/color] [COLOR=darkgoldenrod]navy[/color] [COLOR=darkgoldenrod]solid[/color];
  [COLOR=coral]overflow:[/color] [COLOR=darkgoldenrod]visible[/color];
[teal]}[/teal]
