Hi Folks,

Does anyone know of a working fix for the ie z-index bug? I have come across a few solutions but interested to see if anyone here knows of a better fix.

Thanks!

A: 

Depending upon what you are trying to do, there might not be an easy fix. Here is a good discussion of some of your options, including cases that are not easily handled.

If you mean the problem of IE6 not respecting the z-index on select controls, then yes.

The select free layer works nicely.

There is also a few others. I think the best method is to inform the users that IE6 has been replaced and that they would be better off using IE7, FF, or another recent browser verison, or direct them to the MS article explaining the problem and their courses of action.

You may not have this luxury, in which case, you should try using the select free or a few others that turn up in google results. It sucks, but you will have to try one of them.

If your problem is about IE 6 select element z-index problem , and you happen to use jQuery for development, then you may try the convenient jQuery bgiframe plugin to solve it. :p
