Popup window shows under select box (IE only)

[Bryan Forst]

Ive got a small calendar popup that works perfectly fine in most
cases....

It comes up as a small unframed window over the parent window, however
it overlaps a select box and in IE the select box appears OVER the
popup.
NN works fine.

ive tried a variety of changes and additions to the window.open()
method to no avail:


this.popupWindow = window.open("about:blank","window_"+anchorname,this.windowProperties+",onFocus(windowFocus()),resizable=no,alwaysRaised=yes,width="+this.width+",height="+this.height+",screenX="+this.x+",left="+this.x+",screenY="+this.y+",top="+this.y+"");

any ideas are welcome...
thanks

I'll answer myself on this one - apparantly the problem is well known
and unfixable. Here is an article on it:

It's a well known and longstanding IE bug. You'll just have to work
around it!
