Hello all, I need help on displaying a layer (currently wrapped between div tags e.g. <DIV>blah blah blah</DIV>) OVER instead of being masked UNDER some drop downs I also have on the page. For some reason, the layer shows up fine on the page except where there are drop down boxes. Other form elements the layer is able to mask over, but somehow the dropdowns have a much high z-index, and the z-index isn't something I can set...
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

This is a common problem. SELECT elements (dropdowns) always come to the front of the Z-Order. The way some people handle this is to actually remove the SELECT elements as needed using DHTML. (style.visibility = "hidden";)
There are other methods, but I'm not sure what they are. For example, take a look at the EXCELLENT DHTML menu system from Milonic. Here is a sample that shows their menu dropping down OVER the SELECT elements -- but the SELECT elements are not made invisible.

By the way, this Milonic DHTML menu system is by far the best I've ever seen or used, and I've tried and purchased many. It is extremely flexible, and extremely easy to use -- easier to implement than any others I tried. (No I don't work for them or even know any of the developers!)
