Description

Hi,

I have a Node Reference field positioned just above several rows of select menus. When I enter a value in the Node Rererence field, the drop-down auto-select menu of matches falls behind the select elements, so I can't see the auto-select menu items.

I've tried working with CSS and Z-index but have had no luck. Any clues?

Thanks,
Ray

It is a IE6 bug, not a CCK module bug. IE6 renders the input selects at top of any web element ignoring the CSS z-index property. The only solution avaiable is to hide the 'select' elements with Javascript when the drop-down is showing and enable it after selecting the option in the drop-down.

Not the only solution. You can also add an iframe below the dropdown... as iframes and flash lay over the select. Nevertheless - this is a IE6 bug for sure.
