DIV containing ads obscures my drop-down nav menu

[hound_dog]

I have a DIV containing Google AdSense, and I have a nav menu which uses a drop-down system. The menu drops down behind the DIV... in other words, the menu is obscured by the ads.

Now I have the DIV with z-index: 0 and the drop-down menus at z-index: 1 and I thought that would do it, but it doesn't. This problem is only in Opera (8)

Anyone got any tips?

z-index only applies to specifically positioned elements - are both these elements positioned?

[hound_dog]

the nav menu is absolutely positioned; the DIV with the ads is not.

the nav menu is absolutely positioned; the DIV with the ads is not.

Wherever you're defining the styles for the non-absolutely positioned div, add "position:relative;"; this should cause the element to obey the 'z-index' declaration without changing its behaviour.

adsense, last I checked, creates an iframe. Firefox etc doesn't support writing over an iframe, like a drop menu for example. Same goes for flash. An iframe is a separate window, and Firefox doesn't write one window's content over this second window. I can't remember if IE does, I think it does with flash, not sure about iframes.
