z-index / abs. positioning issues... help! = $40

I need this kind of in a hurry, and would like to give $40 via PayPal to the first person in this thread who can solve the problem in IE6...

Have a look at this page in FF3 or IE7:

There is a left-hand navigation menu, and a right-hand "TOUR MENU" with a Dropdown. However, in IE6, they do not appear. It must be a z-index or position:relative issue for relative containers? Help.

Thank you,

Kevin

PM me with your PayPal email if you've solved it (first), and I never fail to pay...

 

I'm not sure how he did it yet, but my colleague Matt found the solution by putting "<div><!-- --></div>" in front of the absolutely positioned elements, and everything renders in IE6...

 

Your top menu goes underneath the content, btw (FF3)

 

Noticed that too. Flash'll do that.

 

The wmode parameter set to transparent will fix that (haven't looked into why, or any ramifications of doing so)

Looking at the site again though - it's not flash, it just goes under the content bg.

 

The top menu needs to set z-index in order to show above the div (content)

 

ah, good catch! must have been while we were debugging the disappearing <div>s. Thanks.
