Hi there,

I'm creating a grid, and it will end up with combo boxes stacked one on top of the other. Each row is in its own div. If I do this:

<div height="50" name="week1" width="790" x="0" y="0"> <combobox height="100" name="combobox1" width="130" x="11" y="7" background="#FFFFFF" itemSeparator="true" selectedIndex="0" itemWidth="100" itemHeight="25" onchange="updateGrid()" value="Label #0" > </div> <div height="50" name="week1" width="790" x="0" y="50"> <combobox height="100" name="combobox1" width="130" x="11" y="7" background="#FFFFFF" itemSeparator="true" selectedIndex="0" itemWidth="100" itemHeight="25" onchange="updateGrid()" value="Label #0" > </div>

Then the comboboxes get cliped at 50 when I click on the down-arrow. However, if I change the div heights to 100, then the pulldown menu from the top one gets mixed in with the second combo box graphically when I click the downarrow (in other words, the second combo box bleeds through the dropdown of the first)

Short of placing the combo boxes apart by a large vertical space (which defeats the purpose of a grid layout), is there a way to make a group of vertically stacked combo boxes work right?
