Thanks, Ian. I thought as much, just wanted it confirmed. On 
experimentation, I found that large SELECT elements could be made to drop 
down beyond the boundaries of the browser window itself. This rang warning 
bells and indicated to me that at least some form elements were being 
implemented by the browser calling OS APIs (i.e. creating separate windows) 
rather than being rendered and controlled by the HTML & CSS handling 
routines within the browser itself. My workaround of physically separating 
forms and dynamic divs will have to suffice for now :-(

Regds,
Bob Osola
