    Hello All, I have a DHTML and Javascript Dropdown menu. Menu is at the top of the Page. And DropdownList or Combo Box is little bit down from the Menu. DropdownMenu populates when it shows the Submenu the Dropdownlist overlapping the Submenu(DHTML Menu). I tried in the Google. They said, if you use iframe you can resolve the problem. But i dont know how to use. Please help me... Thanks in Advance

    Thanks & Regards Kumaran

        To do what exactly? The problem arises since combos aren't rendered as proper HTML elements in IE6 (IE7 doesn't have the problem, so quick fix == upgrade lol!), but are actually rendered as windowed elements - just like IE itself. The iFrame workaround uses the fact that iFrames are also windowed elements, so appear in front of the combos. To use, you need to set up a pge with the contents of your popup, and put an iFrame in it's place on the original page. When showing the popup, you then need to set the src of the iFrame to the new page. This isn't a particularly good solution though, but the others aren't much better! (My personal fave is setting the display to none for any windowed elements before showing the popup, but that can SUCK badly dependent on the page)
