Can anyone help me out with this? Menus work over form elements (select boxes) in all browsers across all platforms, except IE5 and before...

Hi,
You might have to use the divhider.js for these browsers. Thre's information about it in this post And, you can see it in Hiding Divs Sample#14
This is the way it's set up on that sample
Code:
<SCRIPT language=JavaScript src="divhider.js" type=text/javascript></SCRIPT>
<br><br><br><br><br>
<div id=formdiv1 name=formdiv1 style="position:relative">
<form>
<select>
<option>Testing to see
<option>if the menu will
<option>sit on top of
<option>select boxes
</select>
<select>
<option>Testing to see
<option>if the menu will
<option>sit on top of
<option>select boxes
</select>
</form>
</div>
Then in the divhider.js file it has <br><br><br><br><br>
<div id=formdiv1 name=formdiv1 style="position:relative">
<form>
<select>
<option>Testing to see
<option>if the menu will
<option>sit on top of
<option>select boxes
</select>
<select>
<option>Testing to see
<option>if the menu will
<option>sit on top of
<option>select boxes
</select>
</form>
</div>
Code:
M_hideMenus = "Samples->formdiv1;milonic->formdiv1;"
You can download the sample, and you get the divhider.js file HERE

Hi,
You could also consider using a menu to emulate a form select box. Since a menu has no problem opening over another menu, that might solve the design problem. Passing the selected data as part of a submitted form should also be no problem. You'll find a more detailed discussion and some examples here.
Cheers,
Kevin
