Thanks for the quick reply.
#genericListDisplay is a div tag so I think the answer is yes.

I think the answer is no.

Did you set position to one of the following: absolute, relative, or fixed?

So you did set the position. I was wrong.

What browser is the problem happening in and what is in the div that is sitting on top of this one?

Eric, I must apologize to you for taking time to help me and at the same time thank you for indirectly helping me figure this out. When I went to copy the css code that defines the div sitting on top of this one guess what I found? I found out that I had set the z-index of that div to 10000 but did not remember doing it. This app is huge relative to my thinking(1400 files) and I can't remember what I did six months ago.

I am glad that there is a place for me seek answers and learn little by little.

God bless.

Firebug is a great tool for finding out what styles are being applied to an element. Probably would have made this quicker to find.
