[WSG] z-index problem with dropdown menu

2007-11-04 Thread John Faulds

http://www.tyssendesign.com.au/sites/evolved/sax/

I can't figure out why the dropdowns fall behind the content below them.  
Can anybody see what I'm obviously missing? :?


Cheers
John

seems to me like the dropdowns need a firm hand - try:

I can see this but I'm not sure if you're obviously missing it or not:
http://www.saxleather.com.au/index.php?page=homesubrange=nipple%20clamps

but I can also see that it's a site that not everyone on the list may
appreciate ;)

Hi John,

I'd have a look at setting a z-index on #sidebar2 (I don't think you
have one). Because it comes after the dropdown in the source   some
browsers may assume it should have a higher z-index than the dropdown so
it may help to set it lower.

I've z-indexed just about everything on the page to no avail so far.

Hi John,
It's a stacking context issue [1], so increasing the z-index value of the
dropdown won't change anything.
Add this to your #header{} rule:
z-index:1

Right, well obviously I hadn't. I could've sworn I'd done that for #header  
as well. Oh well, thanks for the extra sets of eyes guys! :)
