setting up a menu bar involves a bunch of javascript. Searching google could yield something like:

Think if you really need a menu bar though as they are rarely implemented well and end up just slowing the page load time down and making it hard to find things.

table over html controls

Post by anjanesh »

I was making fine good looking sleek menubars all this time with heavy javascript code and just recently i found out a major problem with this. In the site Im currently working on now there is a strip of html controls right below the menubar. It seems that the select and some others will ALWAYS come on top of anything else because they're os/windows controls ? Now Im trying to figure another way out to solve this and making visibility false to the controls when the pulldown table comes over is really not so easy. Making the selects as activex objects is heavier than javascript. It would rather be in java if someone's going for activex.
But is there another way to get around this ? With table coming on top of html controls ?

solution 1: build the html controls in javascript too, instead of using html controls.
solution 2: hide them while the javascript is open, like you are thinking now.
solution 3: move the controls to a spot where the menus will not interfere with them.
