I am having a problem getting my menu (version 5) to appear even though I didn't have a problem with version 3. My pages have a table with assigned absolute values so they are always positioned in the same place. The problems appears to be that the menu is being covered by the table. If I remove the line <div class="class"> the menu appears correctly. Or if I move the table down, the menu will appear above it. Incidently, I don't have a problem with Safari, only Explorer (for the Mac). I haven't tried a pc version yet.
I am a beginner at this so I hope I haven't been too inarticulate trying to explain the problem.
Thanks for your help,
Steve Goodman

Menu won't appear over table in Explorer
menu is covered by a table
Here's the address of a test page that works in Safari but not Explorer (on the Mac). In Explorer, the pull down menu is being covered by a table.

I just found out the menu works properly with Explorer for the PC and Opera for the Mac and PC. Mac Explorer seems to be the only problem.

I don't see the menu on the mac, I would have said use the slash before and check file paths, but if its working in other browsers, then its probably the div, I have never used the div tag because when I was learning html I was told to not use it, and now it can be a problem or so I've heard in this forum. My suggestion is to search 'div' in the forums or try without the div first to see if it is the problem.
Thanks to all of you who offered advice. I discovered that if I designated the z value for the division that contained the table as a negative number, the menu appears on top of the table. As I mentioned before, this was only a problem for the Mac version of Explorer 5.2 so I think the problem is fixed.
