Javascript: Showing Table over Image

[Diesel]

I have an imagemap where certain areas of the imagemap popup a table using onmouseover. The table always appears under the image. I've changed the z-index of the image and the table with no luck, any ideas?

Try setting the position to absolute:

<TABLE STYLE="position:absolute;left:100;top:100;z-index:1;">
<TR>
<TD>Table Content</TD>
</TR>
</TABLE>

That works for me. Except for comboboxes... I have no clue why, but they always show through.

I had the position = absolute. I think that displaying html elements over images may not be possible in javascript. The images are not refreshed, they are static elements.

They're the one control the Internet Explorer Team at Microsoft didn't reimplement. They're drawn as they're own window, "outside" of the viewport, meaning they're drawn independently of the Web page itself, and therefore not affected by z-ordering.
