Hello,
I have a website with on top a java roll-out menu. On one of the pages there is a form on top with a select element. The problem is that I can't get the java menu to roll out over the select element. It shows the select element in front of the menu... There's no problem with buttons; the menu is shown on top of any buttons that might appear in the place where the menu rolls out. I tried to fix it with the z-Index property but it won't help. Anyone encountered issues like this before? Is there something I can do about it, without redesigning my page?
Greetings,
Tomas
 
When you say you have check the z-index, do you mean you have checked it on the roll out menu or both the roll out menu and the select box? It happens occasionally that any elements nthat get added after an inline z-index'd object will get z-index'd higher than the previous item, try z-index'ing both of the objects.

No, that was not the problem.
I have found a solution in the meantine. Actually the solution is that there is no easy approach to tackle this problem.
The problem is that a selectbox is a windowed object and thus will always be on top of any windowless object, nevertheless the z-index settings.
Here are some links for who is interested:
