First, congratulations for this software. I use the last version of Popup Menus and have a problem with IE 6 and the pages that have forms with select controls in another different frame (... or also in case it is in the same frame). The menu is displayed always behind the select control so that not all the options are visualized correctly. With Mozilla 1.6 this problem does not take place. Can yo help me ? Thanks!

Please read the "FAQ" section of pop_help.html, this is explained there with a fix already available.

There is a work-around solution that could be added to the menu code. I'm looking for a menu system them uses it, but haven't found one yet. I don't want to write it all myself when so many others are so nearly there.
For IE 5 & 6 (maybe 7 etc, who knows) but please not for Mozilla (which works properly in this aspect) IFRAME can be created with z-index greater than that of the SELECTs. The menu elements are then added to the IFRAMEs. It should be possible to have only as many IFRAMEs as there are menu levels, repositioned as the menu pops up.
A useful Google search is: iframe select javascript zorder

Barrie: I've already done so, it's explained in the FAQ. Grab the IFRAME extension in the pop_extras.js as it suggests, and you've found your elusive menu that uses it ;).
Also, the approach I take is to layer an IFRAME beneath the menus (but over the select) and set it to 100% translucency via a DirectX Image Filter, which works quite well.

Barrie: Part of the problem has to do with scrolling. If you have to scroll down to get to a select or an applet (at least, in an absolutely positioned div with overflow: auto), then the submenus won't hide the select or applet.
For an illustration, go to: http://www.let.rug.nl/~molendyk/wijzigingenrugnaarwerk/zmenustwinhelixpop/
I don't care much about it, but if you do, you could signal this to Angus.
Groet uit Nederland: Arie.

Oops, sorry - didn't read the FAQ thoroughly enough obviously.
