Testpage.http://home.tiscali.nl/developerscorner/css-discuss/z-index-problem-solved.html It is not a z-index trouble, but the the .master-form .content-inside { overflow:hidden }. The difference between FF and IE is the IE-hack, giving overflow for IE while hiding for the rest. Omitting the overflow:hidden shows up the tabs in FF too. As far as I can see (but perhaps there is more behind the screens), the only reason for hiding is to avoid a horizontal scrollbar in FF. If that's the case, than a container-width of 99.9% can do this instead of the overflow:hidden. Hope this doesn't raise new issues, ;-) francky ______________________________________________________________________ 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/
