Re: [css-d] Tweaked p7 menu behind text in IE5.2mac
From: kristin [EMAIL PROTECTED] Except, the dropdowns go behind the heading text in IE5.2 mac The page is here: http://www.kristinlong.com/cssd/cssd.html Hi Kristin, The problem was the complexity of all those absolutely positioned DIVs. IE Mac just does not do well with AP elements, especially when you're hiding and showing elements. Z-index bugs, among others, are very hard to deal with. I took the liberty of making a quick test page for you, rendering the first two rows of your layout, using floated elements - with margins and padding used for fine-tuning positioning. This should work without incident in IE5 Mac. The style rules are all embedded in the document's head for you to review. To make the third row, simply follow the plan ;-) http://www.projectseven.com/testing/customers/kristin/ -- Al Sparber PVII http://www.projectseven.com Designing with CSS is sometimes like barreling down a crumbling mountain road at 90 miles per hour secure in the knowledge that repairs are scheduled for next Tuesday. __ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
[css-d] Tweaked p7 menu behind text in IE5.2mac
Hello All. I am looking for a quick bit of help from a knowledgeable absolute positioning/project 7/mac IE5.2 type of person. I bastardized a project seven pop menu magic dropdown to use images and be variable width, and all is going great. Looks perfect in every browser test. Except, the dropdowns go behind the heading text in IE5.2 mac. As I am required to deliver for this browser, it is perplexing me. Any help would be SO graciously accepted. The page is here: http://www.kristinlong.com/cssd/cssd.html Thanks so much! kristin __ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/

The page is here: http://www.kristinlong.com/cssd/cssd.html Hi Kristin, I don't have a Mac booted up right now and I'm on the way out. Your symptom is ususally remedied with relative positioning - or correcting a z-index problem. These pages might help. The first uses embedded images - which is more stable than bg images (and arguably more accessible) and the second is our tutorial using bg image positioning: 1. http://www.ausaid.gov.au/ 2. http://www.projectseven.com/tutorials/navigation/pmm/rootimages/ Hope these help. Note: If you're in the States, we have free telephone support - so just give us a holler if you get hung up. -- Al Sparber PVII http://www.projectseven.com Designing with CSS is sometimes like barreling down a crumbling mountain road at 90 miles per hour secure in the knowledge that repairs are scheduled for next Tuesday. __ css-discuss [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.css-discuss.org/mailman/listinfo/css-d List wiki/FAQ -- http://css-discuss.incutio.com/ Supported by evolt.org -- http://www.evolt.org/help_support_evolt/
