CSS - Dropdowns Behind Slidehow
I have seen this problem before but I have no idea how to fix it.
My CSS dropdown menus are falling behind a javascript slideshow. I managed to tweek the zindex for a submenu that now shows above the slideshow but for the life of me I can't get the main menu to do the same. Its killing me. I would be happy to provide you with any code you might need to determine the problem but want to put it all here until asked as it might be quite extensive. If you need to see it, let me know. The site I am working on is alumniunit dott com Thanks, Bruce Similar TutorialsI'm trying to create my first dropdown using suckerfish. anyone have an idea why this will only extend about half way across the page before splitting my main categories into two columns? i want it all on one line..any help is appreciated. thanks!

I'm not finding a topic which addresses this .. or at least one that I comprehend. I've just begun working with CSS, converting our website from one riddled with tables and frames. The new main page has a set of images at top (which finally don't have borders around them in any testing browser), and a set of dropdowns - which all browsers can see except AOL's. Our AOL user reports he is on 9.0 Optimized. (how kosher is it here to post the contents of an entire set of files..?) Pertinent Components: - CSS: http://www.legendsofkarinth.com/lok_cssindex.css - HTML: http://www.legendsofkarinth.com/smallership7a.html Problem Summary: - all browsers are seeing the rollover buttons performing properly but only after backing down from DOCTYPE STRICT to TRANSITIONAL and reinstalling BORDER="0" on all images with links; - all but AOL see the four dropdowns parading across the bottom (again, no links). As an aside, we had to back down from DOCTYPE STRICT to TRANSITIONAL in order for the images to line up in any browser.. I could use some advice there as well. Other than that, the page validates in STRICT but the images have a black line through the midpoint horizontal. Look fine in FF3 and Chrome, nothing shows in IE8. I likely screwed it up, there is a separate CSS for IE but I can't see what is missing. Thank you for your help, if you can spare it. www.tulsahope.com We've implemented a slightly modified form of suckerfish dropdowns...apparently I can't post links, but it's at jlfurnishings.com Here's the markup and javascript: Code:

They work fine in Firefox (for the most part...feels a little unstable), but in IE6 (and 7, I believe), the dropdowns are all jacked. Can anyone shed any light on this? I've played with it, but I'm not making any progress. My client is freaking out because this is overdue and my css guy is MIA and I'm about to rip my hair out. Any insight at all would be welcome... (URL address blocked: See forum rules) (dropdowns for 'About Us' and 'Projects / Clients') On a sidenote: how do you guys do this? I'm a PHP developer and CSS is like black magic to me :-) I can usually get things working fine in non-IE browsers, but then I pull up the site in IE and I'm completely mystified. Kudos to you all... The infamous z-index/select problem in ie6 has become a pain for me now. I have read countless articles and yet to find an understandable and stillworking example of how to get around this. Apprently there is an iframe method which seems to do the trick, however all sample code that is provided never works. IE 6 only problem: I have a list (like a good programmer) for my navigation that generates a drop down via css and some js. Selects stay above it regardless of z-index. I have countless selects scattered throughout my site. Can someone give me a WORKING example of how to get around this...i don't want to go down the road of hidding all the selects. Hello everyone, Thanks in advance for any help you can offer. I have a single page for a site I'm creating located he simplethoughts.com/test/index.html The css file for the page is located he simplethoughts.com/test/css/screen.css The main navigation is using suckerfish style dropdowns which work fine in IE7, firefox, and opera. However, when I try the page in IE6 or 5.5, the dropdowns 'drop' about 100px too low and WAY to the right of where they're supposed to and I can't seem to figure out why. Thanks again for any help...it's extremely appreciated! -Neil I'm a bit stumped as far as what I'm doing wrong. Big surprise, eh? Basically, I made a dropdown navigation menu (tested in FF 3.6.8 and IE 8)...works great. I used an unordered list to do so (and jquery). Well, the problem is, when I add another list to the page, it adopts some of the same properties as my menu I do have an ID for the navigation menu, so I'm not sure what's going on here. Any help, thoughts, or ideas would be DEEPLY appreciated! You can find the sample at: http://www.myztacia.com/animated-menu2.html I figured it was easier to post the link than force you to create the webpage yourself So for a long time I've seen that widths for dropdown menus must be fixed for one reason or another. Trying to make it so that the width of the dropdown was dynamic worked in IE, not Firefox, or vice versa. For instance, you had a horizontal nav menu (<ul>), with two items (<li>s), "cars" and "trucks". Under cars you have dropdown links for "Focus" and "Sky" (so the width could be very short) but for trucks you have "Chevrolet 510 Extended Cab" and "Ford Yadda Yadda Yad" (so a long width). The widths of these dropdowns would have to be specified, meaning that 1.) it wouldn't be perfect padding unless you define the perfect width and 2.) unless you want to define a different width for each dropdown, the width would have to be the same for all and you might have a buttload more padding for one (like the first item) than another (the second item). So I'm wondering, if I force my users to CSS3 (which luckily I'm working on a project where I can), does it allow us to ditch this convention, and dynamically size the width of the dropdown based on content? Maybe through display:table-cell? I've looked around and even the fanciest CSS3 dropdowns still appear to have fixed widths: http://webdesignerwall.com/tutorials/css3-dropdown-menu hi, Im making a menu that looks like: link1 link2 link3 link4 and then wen you hover over link a dropdown may appear i have the problem that when they appear, they lay on top of each other. ANy idea how to make they display under each other. (it doesnt even work in IE at the mo, but i gues ill laft2 sort that later) thanks this is the html: PHP Code: <ul> <li><a href="index.php?action=home">home</a></li> <li><a href="index.php?action=whatnew">what's new</a></li> <li><a href="index.php?action=offers">special offers</a></li> <li><a href="#">collections</a> <ul><a href="#">drop1</a></ul> <ul><a href="#">drop2</a></ul> <!--when looping thru categories, do a WHERE cat_status >= 2--> </li> <li><a href="index.php?action=sBask">shopping basket</a></li> <li><a href="index.php?action=contact">contact us</a></li> </ul> this is the relevant css: PHP Code: #nav ul li { position: relative; margin: 0; padding: 0 10px 0 10px; list-style: none; display: inline; } #nav ul li ul { position: absolute; display: none; } #nav ul li:hover ul { display: block; left: 0; top: 10px; } #nav ul li:hover ul li { height: 20px; } Novice at CSS. I have a Blogger website. I'm trying to put a CSS dropdown menu. In Safari, it works fine. Don't have access to Firefox, so I don't know, but in IE (6&7) the dropdowns are hidden behind any other widgets on the page. I've seen plenty of forum posts regarding this issue with flash player, but none specifically addressing IE and Blogger widgets. I've tried adjusting z-index in each li, ul. I'm still really new at this, so I'd appreciate any help and specific guidance you can offer.
