How to cover an IE windowed control (Select Box, ActiveX Object, etc.) with a DHTML layer.

How to cover an IE windowed control (Select Box, ActiveX Object, etc.) with a DHTML layer.

Not a wholly CSS solution but this article is a good pointer to why you can not cover a form element with any element you wish to make visible, most often a drop down menu, in Windows Internet Explorer.

There is a proclaimed solution here too… shim an iframe underneath because IE will treat it differently than a form element which is a windowed control.

This is a non-starter solution to me—too many moving parts.
