If this is the wrong place to get help on this let me know. Site: http://www.ezrackbuilder.com Problem: On the ribbons you will see on the page there is a "Select Attachments" link. When you click on it calls an Ajax Update that retrieves a select menu inside the specified div directly below the "Select Attachments" link. In Firefox the select menu appears overlaps and appears directly below the respective "Select Attachments" div. In Internet Explorer 6 it does not overlap and the page jumps all over the place. In Internet Explorer 7 it displays the select menu behind any surrounding divs so only part of the select menu options can be seen. Question: Can this be fixed with scriptaculous or prototype or is this a css issue? I was looking at the overlap functions in prototype. Anyway, is there anyone out there that can help me understand how to make IE 6&7 behave like Firefox? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Spinoffs" group.

Is there a way to tell Effect.Appear to stay in the front and overlap everything else? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Spinoffs" group.

>Effect.Appear to stay in the front and overlap everything else?I realize Effect.Appear is dealing with opacity now. How do I tell a div to stay in the front of all other divs without using z-index in css? --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Spinoffs" group.

Just attach that "wrapper" after all those ribbons, "absolutize" it based on clicked-element coordinates and hopefully you''ll be fine without any z-index tricks. - -- Marius Feraru -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iD8DBQFF23YItZHp/AYZiNkRAovkAJ4n7BPX/BRyFzxpQ4TmJgg0pTJ56wCfTNk2 DMiYrd7Bp2oBATEaM0Tbqds=entq -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Spinoffs" group.

>hopefully you''ll be fine without any z-index tricks.I ended up using the z-index. It still makes the page go wonky in IE 6, but works perfectly now in IE 7 and Firefox. Haven''t tested in Safari. Thanks for the input and I will try that method as well. Maybe that will fix the IE 6 blowout problem. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Spinoffs" group.
