[WSG] Stacking problem in IE6
This page has a Suckerfish dropdown menu:
http://www.blinn.edu/sbdc/_notes/blinn/index.htm
Its stylesheet: http://www.blinn.edu/sbdc/_notes/blinn/index-css.css
The left two dropdown menus (correctly) overlap the form that's below
them in FF, Opera & IE7, but in IE6 those two menus drop down *behind*
the Quicklinks select box that's in the column below them.
The xhtml validates, as does the css, except for the :sfhover business.
Relevant css (I think):
/* 2nd level */
#nav li ul {
position:absolute; left:-999em;
height:auto; width:144px;
padding-top:16px; /* this and neg top margin are needed to keep
2nd level menus open */
margin:-6px 0 0 -18px;
z-index:200;
}
#nav li ul a {
display:block;
width:144px;
margin-top:-2px !important; margin-top:0;
padding:4px 4px 6px !important; padding:4px 4px 8px;
line-height:1.3em;
background-color:#f3f3ee;
border:1px solid black;
z-index:210;
}
/* COLUMN 1 */
#selectcell {
width:185px;
font-size:.9em; background-color:#cbd9b0;
}
#gobutton {
height:1.6em; width:185px;
float:left;
margin-top:.2em; padding:0 2px 2px;
background-color:#acc87d; color:#425629;
font-weight:bold; font-size:.9em;
border:2px solid #779c4b;
border-left:2px solid #b2c78e;
border-top:2px solid #b2c78e;
}
I tried adding the z-index property, but that didn't help. Hope someone
here can spot what's causing this problem.
Tia,
Carol

I currently have a 10px right margin setting for each item in the css, but that doesn't seem very scientific to me and leaves a ragged right margin. relevant css file: http://wickedsisterdance.org/who_trial.shtml http://wickedsisterdance.org/css/styles.css If the space from left to right margin is 100%, you can put a percentage of padding on the first four nav links equal to 1/5 of the space that isn't taken up by the links' text. Try changing your #nav a margin-right from 10px to 2.76% and you get pretty close. Assigning an id to the last link, making its right margin 0 and increasing the others a little should get it even closer. hth, Carol ** The discussion list for http://webstandardsgroup.org/ See http://webstandardsgroup.org/mail/guidelines.cfm for some hints on posting to the list & getting help **
Re: [WSG] Comments on new wirelessforum.org.nz site?

Two increases and the last two nav items are all but gone. In IE6, it increases okay on the Home page, but completely covers the breadcrumb on the News page. It might help to give the menu and breadcrumb containers their heights in ems instead of pxs (and instead of the BreadCrumb getting its height from what's left over from the Header). The color scheme is pretty, but the subnavigation links on the News, Events and Our Members pages are hard to read because of the tiny size and low color contrast. Looks niceand yes, a big improvement over your former page!

Re: [WSG] Hidden Content
Is it acceptable to use display:none to hide text from all browsers but NN4? Because of the layout of one of my site's pages, it makes no sense as it degrades unless I add an explanitory and that appear only in NN4. I have them positioned way off screen [.ns4 and .special], but intend to change those items to display:none. Will the search engines distinguish between those instances and the use of display:none described below? Or am I better off leaving things the way they are?

Re: [WSG] A web page crashing FireFox 1.01
Angus, I didn't have any trouble with that page using FF1.0.1. There are several malformed or missing s and s in your html but I wouldn't expect that to cause your PC to crash. Maybe something else is going on. You might check the Firefox general forum at http://forums.mozillazine.org/index.php to see if anyone there has any ideas.

Re: [WSG] Who's putting javascript in my code?
(I'm using FF1.0.1. ) Actually Neerav and Patrick are right that it's something Zone Alarm does. I turned off ad blocking and the postamble line went away, eliminating 2 of the warnings I was getting. Can't figure out how to lose the in-head line, though. One of the links posted suggested using Mozilla's Adblock extension and putting that http address in the filter list, but that hasn't worked for me. I'll probably just uninstall ZA, since I'm just using a trial version and I'm behind a switch on a network, so I don't seem to need it anyhow.. I wanted to contact them about it first, but their website isn't working, which really instills confidence Thanks to all of you for your help!
