IE6 -CSS -SELECTBOX problem-coldfusion
Hello experts.
I have downloaded from:
http://www.dhtmlgoodies.com/index.html?whichScript=modal-message
the files for the tutorial from that site:
http://www.dhtmlgoodies.com/scripts/modal-message/demo-modal-message.html
The problem i have is that when i have a select box then it appears over the message and not under.(the known problem with select boxes and IE6).
How can i solve this?
Is there another tutorial that is working for IE6 without problems?
I send the test page.

I have a little trouble testing in IE6. I have a Mac and use Parallels for Windows. However, it does work in IE6, IE7 in Parallels and in FF on the Mac for me. It is on my server at http://sscotti.com/modal-message/test.html if you want to try it there.

Hi sscotti.
I know.It is working for me too.As i said it is hiddind the form.
The last question was if i could use the code without the hidding function(the first code i posted in the question) when a client has FF or IE7 ,and the code you posted for client with IE 6.Is this possible?

Not sure I understand. If it works for all browsers why not just use it. If there is some other reason you could check the browser agent using javascript and conditionally execute the code to hide the select list if the browser agent is IE6.

Because i'm using these in a search form with many many select boxes it is not so good.It is like the half page in backround is disappearing.
So i prefer that what you said: conditionally execute the code to hide the select list if the browser agent is IE6.
If you want you can answer here or i have to make a new question.

As i was checking out the solutions the only way is to hide the select boxes or the forms where there are in.The dojotoolkit is hidding the selectboxes only in ie6 and in f.f it is working without problems.
