    Default Layer Problem

    I am currently building a site and run into a slight problem...
    Here is the address:

    [url]http://216.127.68.81/~admin11/index.php[/url]

    Here is the issue:

    when the 'Student Centre' pull down menu in the main banner is activated - (the one on the right). The layer falls down behind the 'Next Free Info Session' pulldown menu form(the form is not in a layer - just part of the page). This glitch only appears on Windows browsers.
    I have tried putting the form in a layer - but still have the same problem.

    Can anyone help or run across this problem before??

    Thanks in advance

    J

    Default Re: Layer Problem

    All Active content on a page will always rise to the top, so to speak,
    including Flash, certain form elements, Java applets, and Active X controls.
    This means that they do poke through layers. There is not a good
    cross-browser/platform reliable way to solve this issue, but if you can be
    confident in your visitors using IE 5+ or NN6+, then you can use the CSS
    wmode parameter. Doesn't work in all browsers (NN4) but it's implemented
    into latest netscape:

    Academically interesting. Practically useless -

    " This control requires no download of any kind. Even better, this control
    is part of the windows operating system. It is the same control you use day
    after day in your windows applications. "

    Why would you use something like that?

    Simple, you wouldn't :-) Unless ofcourse, you are developing a website or
    webapplication that will only be visited by windows users (e.g inhouse
    development of an intranet application).

    I posted the link not as much for the solution as for the explanation of the
    problem: the difference between the windowed and windowless elements. I once
    found a much better article on the subject, but can't seem to find it
    anymore.

    Default Layer Problem

    Today I purchased a new domain name and some new webspace for a site that I am
    creating. My website is basically a .gif file that serves as my backround and
    links that direct to an iframe. I centered the image and put the Iframe into a
    layer. My problem is that whenever the website is viewed, it looks fine when
    the window is fully maximized but when I shrink the window the iframe looks
    like it is moved. I realized that it isn't the iframe that is moving its the
    image in the backround staying centered. I was wondering if anyone could help
    me with some sort code to lock the iframe to the .gif image? Or to somehow
    move with the backround? Here is the site, check it out. I just started it
    today so there is no content obviousley. Mess around with the window size to
    see what im talking about. Any help is greatly appreciated because I have no
    idea :/
