hi..

one of my freind recommended me to use milonic in my site.. and i was just testing it with the zindex as we had a problem with menu and div's zindex.

Just downloaded the latest version and changed the html in the menu.htm file.

after changing that the menu always stays behind the div with absolute position. it works fine with firefox but doesnt work in ie

below is the html. all the menu_Src and menudata files are the same which we get when you download a freee copy..

IS there a way out of this ???

Regards

The menu SHOULD be able to sit on top of SELECT boxes by default but because you have set the zIndex to over 1000 this is actually putting the menu behind your DIV.

The reason is that the menus zIndex start at 999 and increases as the menu gets used, it then returns to 999 when all menus close.

However, I just checked it and it looks their might be a bug in the menu.

There are 2 settings that can be used for changing the menus default zindex. One of the setting is a global property of menuZIndex. Adding something like menuZIndex=2000; at the top of your menu_data.js file should have fixed the problem but it didn't. I have now fixed this and you can downoad the fix from the Pre Release version of the menu at http://milonic.com/menuvinfo.php.

One other zIndex property is a menu property called zindex, this can be declared for just one menu object with zindex=2000; - This too failed on the current release but should have been fixed for the Pre Release.

Hope this helps
Andy
