Thanks Jesse and [EMAIL PROTECTED] for your thoughts and ideas. Jesse - I'm not sure how to setup the test page you mention but I've done some investigation and found this:
1. It appears this is an IE6 bug (as usual) where selects always have a higher z-order than anything but other selects no matter what. One workaround is a hack where an iframe with absolute positioning is placed right before the datepicker div and both must go at the bottom of the HTML. The absolute positioning would be way too tricky. Another workaround involves hiding any selects that might get in the way while the datepicker is open. I actually got this to work and have the selects reappear after picking a date but then you have to know the ids of all the selects that might interfere at any given point so it's still a pretty nasty workaround. 2-3. I like the suggestion to have the datepicker close when the user clicks away. Its not perfect but it would make an acceptable workaround to both of these issues. Is there an easy way to do that that you have thought of?

We could try hacking away our own solution, but since it's really their issue, I'm currently devoting my time to other tacos bugs. 2-3) In http://tacoscomponents.jot.com/BugReporter/Bug49 i've mentioned a simple solution of having the datepicker close whenever the user clicks away. I'm still waiting for users and developers opinion on this. >From Jesse Kuhnert <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > I think we can work something out. > > The easiest/quickest way to have these things resolved (for me at least), > would be if you created a new test page under the demo tests folder with > some examples of these broken items that I could quickly go in and fix. > > I still want to fix them either way of course, but time constraints make it > harder to do tiny one off's without fixing a set of bugs at once...(of > course you can always email me offline to arrange for faster options..) > > jesse > > On 2/22/06, Ben Dotte <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > Hi, > > > > We recently tried switching all of our datepickers from the Tapestry > > component to the Tacos one since there seem to be compatibility issues > > between Tacos and the Tapestry DatePicker.
