Hi - see what happens with the css dropdowns in IE (7) here? (just rollover some of the main nav tabs and you’ll see what I mean):

edit: removed reference to site as google indexed it…

Of course it’s playing nice in FF - just bloody IE!! Any help would be appreciated 😉

Adjusting the z-index of the sub-ul should pop it over the top of the content items.

The other problem, where multiple drop-downs stay visible, I’ve seen before. It’s the javascript, not the CSS, causing it. I don’t know much javascript and can’t remember how we resolved it—possibly some sort of onMouseOut adjustment to the js file.

Thanks for the heads up - I tried every number from 1 - 20 (where I left it) within the z-index but made no difference - I think I’ll just have to put an image in it to push the content down a bit so my client can launch…

The sub-ul has some sort of positioning defined, right?

You could try adding it to the sub-li items, again making sure position is defined on them.

I’m not real good with css to be honest - a developer did all this for us some time ago - am planning to get stuck into some css learning over xmas. But anyway here’s the css code that controls the top-nav and sub-nav - dunno if this helps - thanks for looking at it btw - much appreciated 😉 :

/* ++++++++++++++  top level ++++++++++++++++ */



#top-nav {
    position: absolute;
    top: 140px; left: 275px;
    list-style: none;
    text-transform: uppercase;
    font-size: 110%
}

#top-nav li { 
    position: relative;
    float: left;
    padding-bottom: 2em;
}

#top-nav a { 
    margin-right: 16px;
    padding-right: 16px;
    color: #005E9D;
    text-decoration: none;
    border-right: 1px solid #005E9D    
}

#top-nav .last a { 
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
    border: none 
}

#top-nav a:hover { color: #FDB933;}


/* submenu */


#top-nav li ul {
    position: absolute; 
    z-index: 20;
    top: 2em;
    left: -999em;
    width: 200px;
    list-style: none;
    border-top: 1px solid #fff;
}

#top-nav ul li { 
    width: 200px;
    padding: 0;
}

#top-nav li:hover ul, #top-nav li.sfhover ul { left: 0 }

#top-nav li ul a {
    display: block;
    float: none;
    width: 140px;
    margin: 0;     
    padding: 0.5em 10px;
    background: #005E9D;
    border-bottom: 1px solid #fff;
    border-right: 0;
    font-size: 100%;
    color: #fff;
    text-transform: capitalize;
    font-weight: normal;
}

#top-nav li ul a:hover { background: #FDB933; color: #005E9D; }

I would try this:

#top-nav li:hover ul, #top-nav li.sfhover ul { position: relative; left: 0; z-index: 100; }

and if that doesn’t work, this:

#top-nav li ul a:hover { background: #fdb933; color: #005e9d; position: relative; z-index: 100; }
