When using the Main Menu's drop down menu the Search Engine's 'select fields' button overlaps the links on the Main Menu's drop down...The search engine fields is located just below the main nav bar and does not allow the user to select 2 out of the 5 links on the Main Menu's Contact Us drop down menu...Hope this makes sense...

I was told by the makers of the search engine that this actually isn't a bug in Search Engine, rather it's just the way HTML works and if I had another form with select fields instead (that weren't output by the search engine) I would still receive this same problem.

Is there a way to code the JavaScript drop down so it overlaps the select fields in my search form. I don't really want to have to relocate the search engine fields...

Aparently this problem happends on MSN and Yahoo browsers, not netscape or Explorer...

The drop down menu was created in Macromedia Fireworks...

I'm sorry, but this is a rather confusing dilemma. Could you post the url of the search page?

I'm not suppose to add url's, I got in trouble last time...

Its strange...The form field button from the search covers or lies above the drop down menu from the main nav bar not allowing the end user to select a link on the main nav because the search form field button is in the way...

This does not happen on explorer..The drop down menu lies above the search form field button...Allowing the end user to navigate the site...

Not sure why this happends...
