I have reports from my users (along with screenshots) that occasionally dropdownlists are appearing behind other controls on a form. These are normal forms - simply controls in cells in a table, ususally within a WebPanel (not in a WebDialog, so its a separate problem to that reported elsewhere).
This only happens in IE (not Firefox). It happened in IE 7 and I told them to upgrade, which they did, but they are still reporting sporadic problems like this. The problem is that its inconsistent - the same form will not work, then start working...
What environmental scenario can trigger a z-order problem like this? Its not happening on any of my test systems so I'm at a loss as to what to recommend? Because its sporiadic (and NONE of my own CSS stlye affect z-order) there isn't exactly a code change I can make...
Thanks, I'll try that. I do have it within some absolute positioning as I want a help icon to display on its right and because the control uses a LOT of DIVs internally, nothing will sit immediately beside it without CSS assistance.
The nuisance it that it only happens on some systems...sigh.
Hi,
Having the dropdown list absolutely positioned or not can cause these side-effects, depending on the elements configuration on the form. I would suggest to try setting EnableDropDownAsChild=false, it should make sure the list is always absolutely positioned and this will ensure it will appear on top on those scenarios.
Hope it helps,
Angel
