CSS - Z-index Not Working In Ie6 - Please Help!
http://www.concrete-creative.com/test/recipe.html
When you hover over PRINT RECIPE, the text of the link below shows through the popup menu... I have tried everything I can think of in terms of adding z-index to different elements and I just can't get it working on IE6 (works fine elsewhere) What am I missing? The HTML is he Code: <div id="navig2"><table width="150" border="0" cellspacing="0"> <tr> <td> <ul id="pop-out-nav2"> <li><a href="#">PRINT RECIPE</a> <ul> <li><a href="javascript:openAWindowRecipe3x5('print_recipe3x5.html','newWin1',420,700,1)"><img src="images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="40" height="1" border="0">print 3x5</a></li> <li><a href="javascript:openAWindowRecipe4x6('print_recipe4x6.html','newWin1',493,700,1)"><img src="images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="40" height="1" border="0">print 4x6</a></li> <li class="last"><a href="javascript:openAWindowRecipeFull('print_recipefull.html','newWin1',650,700,1)"><img src="images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="30" height="1" border="0">print full page</a></li> </ul> </li> <li><a href="recipecomments.html">VIEW COMMENTS (0)</a></li> <li><a href="javascript:openAWindowEmails('add_comment.html','newWin1',420,220,1)">ADD A COMMENT</a></li> <li><a href="javascript:openAWindowEmails('add_personalnote.html','newWin1',420,220,1)">ADD A PERSONAL NOTE</a></li><!-- would say EDIT PERSONAL NOTE if you already have one there --> <li><a href="#">FLAG RECIPE</a> <ul> <li><a href="#" class="radio"><input type="radio" name="flag" value="red" selected><img src="images/icon_flag-red_sm.jpg" alt="" width="13" height="13" border="0"><input type="radio" name="flag" value="green"><img src="images/icon_flag-green_sm.jpg" alt="" width="13" height="13" border="0"><input type="radio" name="flag" value="yellow"><img src="images/icon_flag-yellow_sm.jpg" alt="" width="13" height="13" border="0"><br><input type="radio" name="flag" value="none"><img src="images/no-flag.gif" alt="" width="30" height="13" border="0"></a></li> <li class="last"><a href="javascript:openAWindowHelp('help_flag.html','newWin1',430,380,1)"><img src="images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="45" height="1" border="0">help?</a></li> </ul> </li> </li> </ul> </td> </tr> </table> </div> And the CSS code: Code: /* RIGHT HAND NAV BOX */ #navig2 { float: right; display: block; width: 150px; /* height: 32px; */ border : 2px dashed #b0b080; background-color : #d1d9d1; z-index : 0; } #pop-out-nav2 { z-index : 3; } #navig2 ul { float: left; margin: 0 0 0 0; padding: 0; list-style: none; font: 9px verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-weight: bold; } #navig2 ul li { float: left; position: relative; text-decoration: none; margin: 0; padding: 0; border-bottom: 0; } #navig2 ul li a { display: block; text-decoration: none; font-weight: bold; padding: 8px; color: #666633; } #navig2 ul li a:hover { text-decoration: underline; font-weight: bold; padding: 8px; color: #666633; } #navig2 ul li.active { padding: 8px; background-color : #d1d9d1; font-weight: bold; color: #666633; } #navig2 li ul { position: absolute; float: right; left: 0; display: none; width: 110px; z-index:100; } /* subnav padding & size */ #navig2 li ul li a { position: relative; width: 120px; padding: 3px; } #navig2 li:hover ul, #navig2 li.over ul { display: block; left: 50; top : 20; } /* topnav color when dropdown is showing */ #navig2 li:hover a, #navig2 li.over a, #navig2 li ul li:hover a, #navig2 li ul li.over a { background-color : #d1d9d1; color: #666633; } /* subnav default link */ #navig2 li:hover ul a, #navig2 li.over ul a { font-family: verdana, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 9px; padding: 3px; font-weight: normal; background-color: #FFFFFF; color: #666633; border-top : 1px solid #b0b080; border-left : 1px solid #b0b080; border-right : 1px solid #b0b080; text-align : left; } #navig2 ul li ul li.last a { border-bottom : 1px solid #b0b080; } /* subnav default link under active */ #navig2 li.active:hover ul a, #navig2 li.active ul a { background-color: #FFFFFF; color: #666633; padding: 3px; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; } /* subnav hover link */ #navig2 li:hover ul li:hover a, #navig2 li ul li a:hover { /* background-image: url(images/nav_bg_transp.png); */ padding: 3px; background-color: #FFFFFF; color: #666633; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline; } /* subnav hover link under active */ #navig2 li.active:hover ul li:hover a, #navig2 li.active ul li a:hover { /* background-image: url(images/nav_bg_transp.png); */ padding: 3px; background-color: #FFFFFF; color: #666633; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: underline; } Similar TutorialsIn safari and IE it works perfect. You can see the two gifs behind the quote text, but in netscape and firefox you cannot. I tried many things and still cannot get this to work. Can anyone help? edit: i guess i'm not allowed to post urls but the site is at nscadesign . ca / iidf2007 / buckley Hi, I have a site where the main navigation is supposed to stay above the body in a static position. The body should scroll beneath the navigation, when the page is scrolled. In the body, I have a flash video that is embedded with swf object code. The video unfortunately appears above the main navigation when the page is scrolled. You can see an examplehere My code looks like this for the <div> that holds the video: Code: <div id="header_w_flash" style="margin-top:132px; z-index:2;"> <div> <object id="header_w_flash" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" width="970" height="160"> <param name="movie" value="flash/UC_header1.swf" /> <!--#include file = "includes/uc.inc"--> </object> </div> <!-- end #header_w_flash --></div> And my CSS for the static header, which holds the navigation, looks like this: Code: #header_static{ z-index:999; position:fixed; top:0; height:121px; width:980px; background:#ffffff; } How can I get the embedded flash video to appear below the header? I'm a bit puzzled as to how to resolve this. thanks I have 3 div's in a container, all with the same top and left coordinates width and hieght vary according to content, z-index's 1 & 2 show and hide as designed at the proper coordinates, z-index 3 shows below and out side of the container? I have attached a doc with screen shots layer definitions: Code: #projects{ position:absolute; top: 400; left: 600; margin-left:400px; margin-top:30px; padding-top:30px; padding: 10px; height: auto; width: 300px; z-index: 1; visibility: visible; } #DBApps{ position:absoute; top: 400; left: 300; margin-left:400px; margin-top:30px; padding-top:30px; padding: 10px; height: auto; width: 400px; z-index: 2; visibility: hidden; } #resources{ position: absolute; top: -200; left: 300; margin-left:400px; margin-top:30px; padding-top:30px; padding: 10px; height: auto; width: 300px; z-index:3; visibility: hidden; } Any and all suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Ok i have a header and it has a SWF file on it. WHat i want to do is put the links on the same SWF file to the side but to the top of it i.e. using Z-index? but i cant get it to work? CSS Code: #header { position:relative; z-index:-1; float:left; width:100%; clear:both; } #links { border:1px solid black; position:absolute; z-index:100; top:10px; right:20px; } HTML Code: <div id="header"> <object width="550" height="400"> <param name="movie" value="/resourcebank/images/Final_banner.swf"> <embed src="/resourcebank/images/Final_banner.swf" width="100% height="20%"> </embed> </object> <span id="links"> random links </span> </div> Hi everyone, I'm currently busy on a website which is viewable here The problem is the 'Top' image on the right side. It's supposed to be below the #shadow div (look at my source code) I tried changing the z-indexes to different levels but the top div keeps staying on top. If I turn it into a negative z-index, the mouseover doesn't work anymore.. Hope anyone can help Wouter I have two elements. One has a z-index of 9999 and the other has 9000. Both elements are positioned. It is a modal popup window. When I open it, the element with a poistion of 9000 is on top of the one with 9999. I even checked to confirm that the z-index properties were the same once the popup completed. What could cause this? I am making a list of arrangements, and want a div containing further info to pop up, when you click the arrangement. To make sure the info-box is on top of the other DIVs, i have set z-index to 1. But i have a couple of scripts on the page, and they are allways places on top. I there a way to go around this? + Is it possible with a few simple changes to this script: Code: <script type="text/javascript"><!-- function showHide(boxName) { theBox = document.getElementById(boxName); if (theBox.className == "boxVisible") { theBox.className = "boxHidden"; } else { theBox.className = "boxVisible"; } } //--> </script> <body> <a href="news" onclick="showHide('news'); return false;">News</a> </body> So the target changes back, when the link is inactive. I've tried this: Code: <body> <a href="news" onmouseover="showHide('news'); return false;">News</a> </body> But then i have to pass the link again, to close the window again. hi, i've been reading extensively about the z-index issue that IE 7 suffers from (when using the "position" property) but i cannot for the life of me fix my problem. Basically i have a #menu that is positioned relative to a #wrapper. The dropdown menu works fine in all browsers except that in IE 7, the grey shadow that should appear behind the dropdown menu itself appears on top of the actual dropdown menu. If you view the same page using Firefox, the dropdown menu appears above the grey shadow as it should do. This is the EXACT behaviour i need. I need the dropdown menu and its shadow to appear above the "#content .box" below it, but i also need the shadow to appear behind the dropdown menu. I just need to replicate this exact behaviour you see in Firefox in IE 7. I need to keep the IE7 compatibility mode and the DOCTYPE as they are otherwise the other styles on my site will be affected. Please find the attached folder with all necessary code contained in it. Ignore the jquery.js file as its merely used for effects and is not causing the issue. BTW: its essential that the #menu is positioned relative to the #wrapper as i want it to appear further down in the HTML code for SEO purposes. Thanks in advance Having an issue with a drop down menu in firefox. I have a nav bar with drop down menus. Just below that is an embedded video. Everything works fine except for the drop down menu is behind the video on firefox. Looks fine in IE. I adjusted the z-index properties to make sure that the nav bar sits on top, but it still sits behind. ??? Is it a glitch of some sort? Hi, I am trying to position a logo at the foot of http://www.root.lamtha2.co.uk/cssproblem/ If you look at the source it shows, <div id="footer" class="navTextBottom"> <br /> <!-- #BeginLibraryItem "/Library/bottom_nav_bar.lbi" --><a href="index.html">Home</a> | <a href="#">Terms & Conditions</a> | <a href="#">Links</a> | <a href="#">Contact Us</a><!-- #EndLibraryItem --><br /> <span class="copyrightText">Copyright Apex Verhicle Rentals 2006</span><br /> <div id="lamtha2logo"><a href="http://www.lamtha2.com" onmouseout="MM_swapImgRestore()" onmouseover="MM_swapImage('Lamtha2logo','','index_images/designed_by_l2_on.jpg',1)"><img src="index_images/designed_by_l2_off.jpg" alt="Lamtha2 Web Design" name="Lamtha2logo" width="89" height="29" border="0" id="Lamtha2logo" /></a> </div> <!-- end lamtha2logo --> </div> <!-- end footer --> Here is the css #footer { width:760px; font-size:12px; background-image: url(index_images/footer.gif); text-align: center; background-repeat: no-repeat; z-index: -2; } #lamtha2logo { height: 29px; width: 89px; background-repeat: no-repeat; z-index: 2; float: left; padding-left: 10px; margin-bottom: -35px; } Can anyone help me resolve why div #lamtha2logo is beneath div #footer thanks I am not sure why this is not working but I am trying to nest a div and overlay them. Code: <style> .txtImg { posistion: relative; z-index: 99; height: 72px; width: 100%; background: url(../../images/roycity-gpl-01.png) no-repeat left; } .logo { position: relative; z-index: 1; height: 72px; width: 100%; background: no-repeat right; } </style> <div id="txt" class="txtImg" align="left"> <div id="bg-img" class="logo" align="right"></div> </div> [sorry for any duplication... I just submitted this to the HTML list but suddenly realized it's really a CSS problem] I have a couple web pages that include relatively long pop-up "help" fields... implemented with the display and index style elements. With Netscape or Safari they look fine, but with IE or Opera, some underlying elements "bleed through"; that is, some elements from a div with a lower z-index, which should be behind, seem to float off the rear document and appear in front of the front document. All of the problem elements seem to be within forms and (probably more importantly) they all seem to be in a DIV other than the DIV containing the pop up. That is each structure looks something like: <div> <div> ... the pop up </div> <div> the rest of this section </div> </div> <div> ... some more stuff </div> the proplems are in the area in which the pop up overlaps later divisons. (not all items so conflict) ... any ideas? On a site I'm trying to setup I have a header arrangement with a centrally placed image/logo (it's a png8). 1. It looks a bit decimated in IE6. Anyone know why? 2. The image is supposed to be absolute and on top but in fact the menu bar stays on top. All a problem in IE but not firefox. I'm obviously missing something basic! Help appreciated. An old site, http://www.naausa.org, doesn't work properly in IE7 as the hover links don't go over the changing image. It seems to be because of the IE bug: http://therealcrisp.xs4all.nl/meuk/IE-zindexbug.html The site and code is ugly (inline CSS, tables, etc.), but I don't want to reinvent the wheel; I just want to solve the problem and get it over with. I've tried several things with no luck. Can anyone take a gander at the source code and give me a hint? Thanks, Jeremy Hi all, I've got a little request. Does anybody know how I could solve this issue: I want to have a menu hover on the left, and a menu hover at the top, while visitors can move the google map around in the background. I do this by setting my map div to z-index: -1, and it works good. Except it won't let people click on the map and move it around, even though there isn't a div ontop of it. http://pw.mmogm.com/0.0.5/frame.html The only other way I can think of it set the menu's to z-index: 1, but that would cause them to lag, and they're position would be fixed so when I "toggle" the menu, the top menu won't slide left. It's much nicer the first way, besides the clicking problem. http://pw.mmogm.com/0.0.5/frame2.html I greatly greatly any advice you might be able to shed on this issue. Thanks in advance if you can Does IE not support z-index attributes? I set some z-indexes and it seems to have fixed my issues in firefox, but not in IE. I have an object on my page with the following settings: Code: #myEmail { position:absolute; left:400px; top:50px; z-index:2; display:none; } and i have a video player in my form that looks like this: Code: <object id="Player" height="400" style="border:solid 1px black; z-index:1;" width="500" classid="CLSID:6BF52A52-394A-11d3-B153-00C04F79FAA6"> <param name="URL" value="<% =GetPlayerUrl() %>" /> <param name="autoPlay" value="true" /> </object> Problem is, when the video starts to play, it moves to the top layer. What am i doing wrong? I'm wanting to put three items together with different z-indexes. The first div contains another div and a paragraph, all are positioned absolutely. I want the 2nd div to be higher than the p. The html is as follows: Code: <div id="sticker"> <div></div> <p>Text</p> The css is as follows: Code: div#sticker {width:146px; height:140px; background:url("stickerbase.png") no-repeat top left; position:absolute; top:20px; left:20px; z-index:10;} div#sticker div {width:115px; height:67px; background:url("stickerflap.png") no-repeat top left; z-index:20;} div#sticker p {position:absolute; top:40px; left:20px; z-index:15; background-color:#06c;} An example is at www.wattersisere.co.uk/devshed I want the text with the blue background to be behind the flap of the sticker! I even tried it out with an online z-index checker and couldn't get their code to do it. Thanks, Watters I worked it out, I had missed the position:absolute off the 2nd div. Hi There - Most of my CSS has been pretty pedestrian. Now I've been assigned a layout that is a bit more adventurous and I'd really like to try it. You can see it at leevodra.com slash layout7.gif . (Forum rules prohibit me from posting a URL or inserting an image or attaching an image. Not sure what best to do here.) Briefly, there's a vertical nav that is semi-transparent and sits above the other divs. It needs to be a fixed width, but with the option of having it be flexible width. The main content container sits behind the nav and has a left margin of a percentage. (The same percentage as the right nav div.) It lives underneath the nav div and goes all the way over to the right. It's better to look at the picture. How do I approach this? Instead of a header and footer that go all the way across, there's a big vertical stripe that cuts off everything else. How do I make the text in the main content container be sensitive to the vertical nav? If the vertical nav's flexible, (doubt I can get away with that since it needs to be fixed) then I can have a percentage from the edge. But what if it's fixed width? Do I need a separate text div on the same z-index as the nav? Is there a way to add pixels to a percentage? Do I just cheat and give it a max-width? Any help getting started or with the finer points of this layout will be greatly appreciated. I know there's a thread just before me on the same topic - but I've already tried the suggested solution there and still can't get this one to work. The problem is I have is at: www dot whitespire dot net/index2 dot php When you re-size the page the ripple (called drop in css) should appear UNDER the main content/text box. Any suggestions would make my evening MUCH easier! Mercy buckets. G |
