on a particular set of pages in my web site, i have a small, secondary tab-like menu in addition to the main navigation. on this set of pages, i'd like to move the main content area (which includes the sub-menu) up a little so that a big gap doesn't appear where the sub menu is taking up vertical space.
the problem occurs in ff 1.5 (and opera 8.51) where the sub menu is hidden behind a blank area that the menu div is occupying. i tried putting "position: relative;" on the menu and sub menu to get z-index to work but i wasn't able to get the sub menu on top. i'm not even sure why it doesn't show up, as nothing in the menu area has a background that should be filling that area in. ie6 shows the menu where i'd like it to be. html and css validate except for a css line-height error that i don't understand. http://sltclan.com/images/cj/z-index-problem.html ============================================== other questions that are bugging me but not as bad as the menu: - is there any way to get ie to show my "includes" area 100% height like firefox? notice how the grey area only goes as far down as the content. and dang ie6's we-don't-do-alpha-transparency... - is there any way to get ff/ie to expand the whole red area to fill in the browser window (minus header/footer)? my ideal look is the vertical red bar to extend to the footer regardless of browser height so that i don't need that retarded red bar at the bottom to show an end to the section (since the right hand side has a background tint that cuts off). i tried putting "height: 100%" in the parents but i'm not getting something right as it never worked. - how can i move my background globe picture up 1-2em so that it clears the footer? it needs to stay on the body element(?), though. note: for anyone who wants to try a mouseover dom inspector, click the "modi" link on the menu and choose "mouseover dom inspector" or "modiv2". very, very handy tools. thanks everyone. ______________________________________________________________________ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d IE7b2 testing hub -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/?page=IE7 List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
