2005-11-11 Thread Sam Partington
This is an annoying problem, that crops up a lot on this list. I'll add it as a wiki entry if no-one has a problem with that? I'm not particularly knowledgable about the subject but I can probably knock something up. The problem is that some elements (drop-downs, and flash objects, maybe more) i

Re: [css-d] z-index and IE 6 - overlapping elements

2006-05-02 Thread Sam Partington
I shoud imagine its these two rules that is causing a bit of ambiguity : .album * { position: absolute; z-index: 0; } .albumSub { z-index: 100; position: absolute; /* other stuff */ } I am guessing that the first rule is given a higher specificity, however according to [1] the * should not

2006-10-05 Thread Sam Partington
Hi, I'm not able to do much testing in Safari because I don't own a mac. I do occasionally get access to one, and for the most part my site looks ok, although not perfect. I'm happy with that for the time being, as long as it's functional. However there is one really serious bug in my calendar.
