another thought, can also do this programatically using the onBeforeShow option. Same idea, add a class to the wrapped ul's .

onBeforeShow:  function(){
                    if ($(this).hasClass("secondRowClass")) {
                              $(this).css("top","5em");
}

Again, untested but I have used this method to do realignments and animations before. Either of these solutions is workable

Following concept would allow the subs of second row to open below that row. This is untested but should be relatively easy to implement

Add a class to the wrapped li's forming 2nd row then create a different css position rule for sub ul of that class based on height of the navbar li's. The offset would be double the value currently used for the sub ul .  Default is 2.5em, so try 5em or adjust accordingly based on css you've modified

Again, posting a test case would be very helpful. Your original suggestion of making browser go to 300px wide was very misleading as to actual situation

Hi,

Thank you for your answer.

Yes, I also think it has nothing to do with Z-Index but with the
position: relative of the li elements and the absoulte position of the
submenu ul.

But I think my space is big enough my Problem is not the mainmenu but
the submenu it opens in a navbar (850px width) and when there are too
many items in it there are two rows of items. And when I then hover
over an item in the first row the submenu ul alyways apears behind the
li item in the second row.

So what I need is a Idea to bring the absoulte ul above the relative
li element.

if your main menu items don't fit into space allowed and you force them into wrapping to multiple levels, a different design approach migtht be in order?
the position :rel has to be there for absolute position to use as reference location
problem has nothing to do with z-index in my opinion, you're expecting too much in too little space.Seeing the live situation may help, can you post a link?
nico wrote:Hi, I have a problem with the superfish menu in navbar mode and ie6/7. The first submenu items are in a full width row. If there are lots of subitems i get two rows. If an item in the first row has a submenu it opens as dropdown (200px width) right below the item. This works good in all browser except in ie6/7. Here I have the problem that the li submenu navbar item in the second row appears always above the dropdown if it opens from an item in the first row. Thats because the li items in the navbar are positition relative and the ul of the dropdown is absolute, so the li pos.:rel. is always above ul pos. absol. no matter what z-indexes are given. You can see the effect on the official demo sitehttp://users.tpg.com.au/j_birch/plugins/superfish/#examplesJust bring the Browser Window widht to 300px so that the demo menu has two menuitem in the row and two rows, hover over the first mainmenu item and you see just 3 submenuitems instead of 4 (because the first submenu

 item is hidden behind the second mainmenu row.) Do you know this issue and any workarounds? btw. superfish is awsome!
