Describe Problem:
Hi,
Great script however one question. I have a couple of dropdown boxes on the same page as the gallery, and the boxes are showing "thru" the image. Is there anyway to change the transparency/opacity of the window?

An example can be seen here, as the "Curency Converter" box is seen thru the image and even works "thru" the image.

Well, what I don't understand here is how the boxes are showing through the image. Did you add a filter:

Code:

<style>
select {filter:alpha(Opacity=50)}
</style>

??
Because for one, you need to find the problem, and then you have to try to fix it.

Mike,
Thanks for the quick reply

I didn't add any type of filter to the image script. I really don't know what to look for to be causing the problem, that is why I am posting....

Any other ideas on this one, as I really don't know what I should be looking for...
If it matters, this problem only happens with IE. The box does not show thru on Firefox or Opera.

what type of browser are you using?

edit: oops, i missed that last bit.

I use have IE too, and it seems to be working fine

Or even better yet, when this happens on your browser, hit print screen, upload it and let me see it. then I'll be able to see what's happening, because whatever the problem is, it's not happening in my browser.

Give me a few minutes and I will "get it up".
