stacking menu issue IE

[ollyno1uk]

Hi there

I have a menu that I have been working on. Part of the menu pops out on hover and it partly covers the menu beneath.

This caused a problem as the menu beneath appeared above the pop out.

I researched and found z-index - this solved my issue.... in Firefox not IE

I have been searching for a solution but cannot find one.

Anyone know?

just to clarify, I need the pop out menu to sit above the existing menu, not under it

Try posting some minimal code that still exhibits the behavior you describe. See also the post on how to post code [webmasterworld.com].

ah sorry about posting my url. I don't think it was necessary anyhow.

Just to elborate further. My pop out menu is a css based menu and uses nested <ul>s

Thanks

Hi ollyno1uk, my guess is that the "menu" that is sticking out is actually a "select box"

if so then then there's not much you can do for IE6 and below apart from looking for an iframe shim trick.. the z-index should work min IE7

if it's not a select box, but instead is a flash file then there a wmode toggle that can be used

the menu is a list item and neither the above you mention.

Thanks anyhow
