Hello I'm currently having an issue
with my Drop down menu's falling behind my sub spry tabbed menu.
Here's a test link: http://seelsterfarms.com/camluck.asp

How do i get the Drop-down menu to go over the spry tabbed menu?

Also i've tried setting the Z-Index on the Spry tabbed menu to -1
but it didn't work.

Can anyone please help with this issue

thanks :)

Hello James,

It take a little while to figure this one out but i finally got it. You need to put "position:relative;" to the <td> that holds the menu.

I'm still not getting this.
I've tried adding the "position:relative;" to the CSS class that the <TD> tag is holding
All this did was move my menu out of place.
Could you please be more specific about where i put the "position:relative;" to make to drop down menu go over the spry tabs

Hello again James,

Replace the <td> above the CMPH_menu1 div with this tag:

<td height="40" bgcolor="#415e41" align="center" valign="bottom" class="border1" style="position: relative; z-index: 2000;">

Regards,
Andrei

Almost!!!
it works only for me in Internet Explorer
With firefox on mac & pc it moves the menu to the top of the screen.
With Safari it still doesn't work.
Is there any way to code it so it works in all 3 browsers and cross platform.

Hello again,

I think that the movement to the top of the screen can be fixed by adding "px" to the dimensions of the image that's above the menu. I don't understand why it's not working in Safari though. I will look more into it.

Andrei

I tried adding in the "PX"
<img src="images/camluck/top.jpg" width="800px" height="124px" border="0" />

Doesn't seem to work at the moment.
I don't think i've coded it right.
How should this tag be coded??

Hello again James,

I have played a little bit more with that page, and I've noticed that there is a way to workaround the bad menu positioning. I deleted the style setting from the td tag that contains the menu. Then i created a div inside that td that wraps the menu and put the style on that div. I've tested the page on all browsers that I have on my computer ( IE 8, Firefox, opera, chrome and safari) and the menu was positioned well and it dropped above the spry tabs.

No, that's not the way I was referring. You need to put that div inside the <td> tag. The code should be something like this:

<tr>
<td>
<div style="position: relative; z-index: 2000;">
Menu code
</div>
</td> ...

Please try like this.

Andrei
