Listbox is overlapping the Textbox in Asp.net

[santel]

Hi All,

Is it not possible to overlap the listbox with other controls. I wanna
place the Textbox above the Listbox. I searched many groups but
couldn't get the answer. Any suggestions please.

To put one control on top of another, you will need to use CSS and set the
Position attribute to Absolute for your control. You may also need to use
the Z-Order attribute as well.

Thanks for your reply.

I tried all. But the listbox is overlapping the textbox. I want the
Textbox to be displayed on top

Try this:

<asp:TextBox id="txtOne" runat="server"
style="position:absolute;left:2in;top:2in;width:2in;height:2in;z-index:1"
/>
<asp:ListBox id="lstOne" runat="server"
style="position:absolute;left:2in;top:2in;width:2in;height:2in;z-index:2"
/>

Thanks for your effort.

I tried this. But i can see only listbox. Textbox goes under the
Listbox. But I want is vice versa.

Can you provide some code?

Chris: You meant to have the z order of the textbox GREATER than that
of the listbox

Santel: This will work fine in the "modern" browsers (Gekko, KHTML
etc.) but will *NOT* work in IE

It's a well-known problem with IE. Refer to the KB article 177378
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;177378

my pet hack to fix this is to clide an IFRAME between the listbox and
the textbox

Hope this helps
