I am having problems finding a solution to the problem of dropdown navigation menu items disappearing behind an iframe in Safari. Can anyone provide me with a fix that will work cross-browser (in IE and Firefox for PC and Safari and Firefox for Mac)? I would appreciate any assistance. I have tried to make the z-index of the navigation div at 99999, and that didn't seem to work.

Thank you, and I appreciate it if anyone can help. I've tried another site forum for help, and have gotten zero responses. :(

I don't know of any fix. I've seen this issue with form fields, as well, and also flash. (meaning the drop downs get hidden from that stuff, regardless of z-index)

must you use iframes?

I think some code might be helpful. I don't know how your menu works.

The reason that happens is the same reason that the menu would disappear if the window wasnt big enough for it. Depending on how it is coded, there might be a work around for it.

Thanks for the feedback. The only thing I can think of is to use an iframe. I have a layout set up for a client in which the design has a fixed height due to the height of an image on the left. Some of the content, however, runs deeper than the height of the image, and then the design doesn't look good at all. I've tried adding a fade to a solid color below the image, but that doesn't look good. The best choice is an iframe. It keeps the design intact, yet the user can still scroll within a small iframe in the content area when needed. If only there was a workaround for Safari. That's the only browser I'm having troubles with conflicts of iframes and dropdown menus. If anyone has a solution that will work on IE for PC and Safari for Mac, I would really appreciate it. Thank you!
