    Rokzoom image box show behind form fields in IE6

    Posted 17 years 4 days ago
    • In general, IE6 will display form fields as a window object such that they will always be on top of other layers (divs) whether positioned or shown through DHTML. The only answers I found in my search on the web was to hide the form elements and then unhide them as necessary, or to put a iframe background under the layer.

      I know I can just use the MooTools with Rokzoom to loop through and hide all the form fields, and then unhide on close, but this won't solve the issue with DHTML on the drop down menus.

      Anybody have any ideas? I'm surpised RokZoom (or slimbox for that matter) don't already incorporate something to handle this for IE6.

      Please give me your thoughts and/or suggestions.

    • do a search on zindex and you will see the issue and it's resolution. It has been seen several times here.

    • I appreciate the response, but it is not a zindex issue with IE6. Here's a little more info that sums up most of what I discovered in my research on the subject:

      “Windowed controls in IE6 will always cover DHTML layers. That means if you have a DIV that pops up or floats on the page and it intersects with a windowed control (such as the common SELECT box), the windowed control will obscure the DIV, no matter what zIndex you have set for each element. “ (copied from thedesignsuperhero.com/blog/?p=33 )

      This is also my experience with testing unless you know something I don't.

      I will experiment some more and post back when I find a solution.
