I have a top nav menu script with drop downs. when using a form that has a drop down list, the drop down list shows through the top nav menu items. Is there a workaround for this or is this a browser issue?

Thanks advance for any help...

Welcome [webmasterworld.com] to WebmasterWorld, gibbittynyc!

The reason that this happens is that the browser inherits many form objects from the OS. These seem to exist on an level (or z-index, as it were) above everything else on the document. Flash objects behave similarly.

I have yet to see a solution to this - but one may well exist and you are in the right place to get it! One solution I have seen used is to place the form objects on a layer which is set to hide when the drop down menu is triggered. Definitely not a graceful solution though!
