I have a dropdown css menu that gets gets hidden behind the main page content when viewed in IE7. I've tried changing z-index values but have had no luck. I've also tried suggestions in other topics from this site but none have worked.
the page can be found here: www.melbournedodgeball.com.au/dodgeball2012/about
any help would be greatly appreciated
The CSS spec's paragraph on Z-index says that new stacking context is only created for positioned content with a z-index other than auto.
You have the li
inside #nav
with a position:relative
, an apparently IE interprets this as a new stacking context.
Try this:
#nav li {
display: block;
position: relative;
z-index: 1; // force IE to recognize stack at this point
}
You need to add
position:relative;
To your <ul>
Z-Index is specified relative to all other elements in the same stacking context. You can have a Z-Index of 100 but it wont make a bit of difference if the elements belong to completely different stacking contexts.
I have test this code, It will work sure
Please set this css for IE7 only
#menu {position:relative; z-index:100;}
