I have a web page which contains a select box. When I open a jQuery Dialog it is displayed partly behind the select box.
How should I approach this problem? Should I hide the select box or does jQuery offer some kind of 'shim' solution. (I have Googled but didn't find anything)
Here is some code:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<title>testJQuery</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
<meta name="GENERATOR" content="Rational Application Developer">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="theme/smooth/theme.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />
</head>
<body>
<a class="pop" href="nix">Click me</a>
<p/>
<select size="20">
<option>s jl fjlkdjfldjf l*s ldkjsdlfkjsdl fkdjlfks dfldkfjdfkjlsdkf jdksdjf sd</option>

</select>
<div id="xyz" class="flora hiddenAsset">
<div id="dialog" title="Edit Link">
<p>Enter the link details:</p>
<table width="80%" border="1">
