SubjectNeeded z-index to get menu to work in Firefox.. IE 6+ Ugh!
Date10 January 2005 9:59
Hello Mark,

I'm sorry to bother you, but i've spent hours trying to get the CSS Menu
script working on Firefox and IE 6.

Because I want to use the menu in a navigation frame, I have to overlay the
drop downs (li's) on the Ul's. I found that this didn't work in Firefox
unless I used z-index to give precedence to the li 'layer'.

However, it doesn't work at all in IE. I expect I have to do something with
the htc file, but its beyond me. My test script is provided below.

Your help will be greatly appreciated

Best regards,

Mike Gibbons

Mike,

yeah, sounds like either you have not taken a copy of the htc file, or you
have stored it in the wrong directory.

download that file and save it in the same directory as the page with the
menu. If that doesn't work, send me the address of the page and I will take
a look for you.
