Hi,

I am not sure if this question was asked before. If so sorry for asking again. My problem is not to be able to show e.g a text box over the combo box. Think a form and in this form one text box is behaving as suggestion list. When you enter a letter a pull-down menu is opening and it shows data beginning with the letter you have entered. But when this pull-down menu come over a combo-box, combo cox is seen and the data in the pull-down menu is not seen. Is there a way to bring this pull-down menu front and send combo back within JSP.

Thanks in advance

There is no combo box in HTML.
You could probably code something yourself with Javascript.
There is an HTML/Javascript forum on this site where you could probably find some help.

The select/combo box/drop-down can be a pain, in that it always tries to display on top of other elements. When building dynamic menus, we usually get around this by placing an iframe underneath the element that needs to display on top of the select element. If you Google for "iframe shim", you should find code examples.

hth,
