Hello,

I'm experiencing a problem with DropDown Menu : it seems that this object is always on the top.

For example: if you open the Help Tab, the dropdown box appears over the content of the help tab.

It seems dropdown menu doesn't stay at the right place ...

It's a bug, or am I somehow wrong ?

Many thanks
Have a nice day
Andrea

Hi Andrea,
If you want to have control over this kind of object then you could modify the template and add in your own button and attach actions to it to achieve the same effect.
In this case you would have control over the Z index used so could have it appear anywhere in a stack of images or objects making up the content of a page..
However as Slav points out you are increasing the resources that the browser has to use to display the screen layout and you can sometimes run into odd rendering problems.

Hi, Andrea,

it is usual browser behavior. There are some HTML objects (called windowed objects) that are displayed in a kind of its own window and some of them have no ability to switch this view mode off: iframe and select (i.e. dropdown menu). These objects cannot be overlapped by any other (non-windowed) objects, even they have larger z-index. Similar objects are Windows Media Player and Flash Player, but they have ability to work in windowless mode (or transparent mode in Flash Player).
Of course there exists workaround (placing any object in front of empty iframe of corresponding size), but this solution is quite hungry for browser resources: it works on simple HTML pages but when it comes to real course... Therefore we do not implement it.
Just try to avoid such overlaps.
