hide select when dhtml menu overrides

[fredes65]

Hi, Im trying to find out how to get the select elements on my page to hide only when the dhtml menu div clips it meaning I dont want it to hide if the div is not going over the select element. Any clues? Ive seen the microsoft solution but I dont understand how it works????

cheers

You have to perform like a hit test to see if the elements are occupying any of the same space. So using offsetX and offsetWidth etc you can get the position and sizes of each, and compare them.

thanks, do you have any examples of how you would do the test.
