Re:submenu behind content - 2006/02/14 08:38 Hi Doron,

how fast do you need the solution?
I'm asking because I'm currently developing a different menu system which will be more powerful than LxMenu Pro. The new menu will always overlap all site elements (like flash, frames, listboxes) without a need to play with z-index.

The new menu system is almost ready to go. The only things I've to complete is the finetuning on component and module. I think it will be released by the end of this week.

Best regards,
Georg Lorenz

Re:submenu behind content - 2006/02/19 21:38 Hi,

We've have the same type of problem on our site that uses LxMenuPro. If viewing the site with IE, the flyout menus are sometimes hidden behind page content, although it had only been an issue when viewing the Community Builder's profile pages which use tab panes. On those pages, wherever tabs and the menu items overlap, the tab is always displayed in front and the menu is hidden behind the tab.

In addtition to this site, we also have a development site which I have been using to troubleshoot some other, unrelated problems with the live site's template that we use. The developmental install is mambo 4.5.3 and is using the waterandstone template. When working on the dev site and using this particular template, I discovered that the problem with the menus displaying behind content was now happening on every page, not just the Community Builder pages when using IE as your browser.

You can view this for yourself, using IE, on the Developmental Installation site by mousing over the FAQs and Contribute Content menu items. (Both have their flyout menu items hiding behind the main content area.)

We have tried the various suggestions found while reading throught the posts, including adjusting the z-index etc., and have spent hours wading through css reference, but so far have been unable to figure out what is causing the problem, or how to fix it.

We would really appreciate any assistance you could give us with this and am attaching a zip file which contains copies of the index.php and template_css.css files from the waterandstone template in the hope that you can take a look at them and see what the problem might be.

Thanks.

Re:submenu behind content - 2006/02/19 22:05 Hi awali,

edit the css file and make following changes:

from

Code:


 
#leftcol {
  position:relative;
  float:left;
  clear:left;
  width:172px;
  background:transparent url(../images/bg_leftcol.jpg) repeat-y left top;
}

Code:


 
#leftcol {
  position:relative;
  z-index:1000;
  float:left;
  clear:left;
  width:172px;
  background:transparent url(../images/bg_leftcol.jpg) repeat-y left top;
}

Let me know when you are done.

Best regards,

Re:submenu behind content - 2006/02/19 22:38 Georg, You are a genius!

It works like a charm! Not only has it fixed the issues in general but its fixed the community builder issues too!

I spent the past 3 days digging through the css sheets trying to figure this stuff out for myself before I finally was so frustrated that I decided to ask for help! (always have to try and figure things out on my own first) And in less than 5 minutes, you've fixed it for me..

So, now I have a big favor to ask.. Is there any chance I could get you to look at the template files that I use on the live site? The one that just has this problem with the community builder pages? Because obviously CSS is not my "thing" at all and this stuff has just got me baffled!

I would warn you that my live site css file is somewhat of a mess! It needs a complete revamping, but if you would look at it for me, I'd would be eternally grateful! (Give me php code to work with and I'm a happy camper, but give me CSS to understand and I feel like I'm on Mars!)

I have attached the zip file which contains the index and css files for my live site, just in case you say yes...

Many thanks for your help!

Regards,
