select bleeds through layer (div)
Yes, it is a common problem.
I receive mails continiously telling that selects are bleeding through sardalya's DraggableLayer. Thanks everyone for their feedback by the way.
It is a rendering issue, the browser renders those selects on top of anything else.
My first trial was to remove selects while dragging and re-show them when dropping.
It was the pseudo pop up, where I tried a concept similar for the first time.
But what I see is people hate this kind of usage (i.e. selects appearing and dissappearing)
So I have a brand new idea: I'll add some method (like transformCombos(blnValue) )
When one uses
var lyr=new LayerObject("elemID");
lyr.transformCombos();
the layer will hide the selects and show alternate divs/spans when it is visible (i.e. visible and not-collapsed) and it will show the actual selects otherwise.
Moreover the property will be true by default for ToolTip and DropDownMenu. I have to think more about it. Just a starting idea.
Someone offered using IFRAMEs. Yes, IFRAMES do work. But I don't want using them as a part of my solution. What if a browser X comes and says that 'my selects are preciousss, they will be rendered even on top of an IFRAME' ".
I don't like using frames... any kind of frames.
