  • 0

I have a jQuery slider which swaps images and text, the problem I am having is that on IE7 and below I cannot get the slide content to appear above the images.

EXAMPLE (IE7):

ie7

(chrome)
chrome

This is the site: http://new.dpwebdev.co.uk/business-sites/explore-d-and-d/index.php

I have tried altering the images and text z-index but that doesn’t effect IE7. Is there any way of fixing this?

I also noticed that the arrows are missing as well.

    Fixed it!! By changing the wrapper’s CSS:

    #home #content #top-slide .wrapper {
    position:relative;
    z-index:9998;
}

    Got the idea when i changed the arrow’s container as well:

    #home #content #top-slide .arrows {
    width:1100px;
    margin:0 auto;
    height:300px;
    position:relative;
    z-index:9998;
}
