[Sigia-l] DHTML Menus and HTML Widgets

"A client has run into a problem in which a DHTML menu breaks when the layer
becomes visible and a drop-down widget is in the HTML in the area in which
the layer appears (this isn't true for other HTML widgets)."


Does it break in that the HTML element appears above the DHTML menu?

If that is the case, there is no solution outside of moving the HTML
element, or DHTML menu.
This is caused because some HTML elements have precedence in the DOM, and
each DOM varies slightly.
I know the dropdown to be the worst offender of the HTML elements.

I realize that this is more of an HTML issue and not an IA one, so I
apologize in advance for being a bit off topic. However, that's never
stopped
me before. (Plus, some list members seem to really know their HTML.)

A client has run into a problem in which a DHTML menu breaks when the layer
becomes visible and a drop-down widget is in the HTML in the area in which
the layer appears (this isn't true for other HTML widgets).

Has anyone run into this problem before, and if so, what did you do about
it?
(The advisability of using DHTML menus apparently is not open for discussion
with this client.)

Thanks.
