Can anyone please help me to display the dropdown menu above the content. as of now the dropdown menu is hidden behind the page content in IE6. i tried to change the z-index property.but in vain.its an urgent requirememt!!

PLEASE HELP!!!!

[cjgraphix]

without showing code it's almost pointless.... but. did you give the dropdown menu a 'position' attribute? z-index doesn't work without it.

Try { position: relative }

Thank u for the help,i tried it with z-index and position.it still doesnt work.

Below is the dropdown.css file.

ul,ol,li{list-style-type:none; margin:0px; padding:0px;}

.topmenuwrapper{width:100%; height:26px; position:relative;z-index:0}
#menu {padding:0; margin:0 ; list-style:none; height:26px; position:relative; z-index:10000; font-family:Verdana, Geneva, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; padding:0 0px; font-weight:normal;}
#menu li {float:left; margin-right:1px; background:url(topnav_bg_link.gif) repeat-x left top;}
#menu li a {display:block; float:left; height:26px; line-height:26px; ; color:#18347d; text-decoration:none; font-size:12px; font-weight:normal; padding:0 20px;/* background:url(topnav_bg_link.gif) repeat-x left top;*/}
#menu table {border-collapse:collapse; width:0; height:0; position:absolute; top:0; left:0;}

this is the html file

[socreative]

what content is it ? just a web page or is it a flash animation?

[Dusteh]

Seeing that you have topmenuwrapper set at 0 I'm guessing it is passing that on to all of the child elements. Z-index is not absolute - setting something to Z-index 500 within a relatively positioned parent element with Z-index 0 won't make it affect anything outside of that parent element. So if the content block has Z-index 1 - it wins.

If you have flash the wmode parameter needs to be set to transparent. You haven't provided an html file for us to view the content.

It works.
