My CSS menu goes under a form drop down menu in IE

Post by izzysanime »

Hi,

For some reason in IE, my css menu goes below one of the drop down menu for my form.  It works just fine in other browsers of course.  I was not sure if there was any simple fix to it or not. 

Thanks,
Josh

if it's IE6 try checking that form causing problems does not have "position:relative" on it. Having position:relative on some items usually seems to cause all weird problems in IE6 with other absolutely positioned items on top of it.

The menu was the only one that had a position relative on it.  The form does not.  I removed the position for the menu to test, but all it did was make the menu go to the left of the screen.  Any other ideas?  This is the page : http://aane.org/calendar/

Thanks,
Josh

You would need to edit the iehover-fix.js file and the CSS code to comply with the class names in the CSSMenu.js included with CMSMS.

o, this is not on a CMSMS at the moment.  Just plain HTML

I checked with IE6 and for me it does not get behind form on calendar. Dropdown menu has some js problems and behaves pretty funky. Has kind of "blink" effect ;) when you hover over items.

when did you check it?  I just moved the select fields around where the menu goes for a temporary fix.

The blinking affect, so its not just my computer ^_^

Try removing the hover fix script, as you don't really need it now.

If i removed that, would it most likely fix it?

I just moved the drop down out of the way as a quick fix.  thanks for everyones help.

You might want to run it thru a validator...
