Question

In internet explorer 7, the top horizontal menu displays the subcategories under the div tags on the page. The menu’s items are either positioned relative or absolute and the z-index is higher than the div tags’. How do I make the dropdowns appear in front of everything else in the page then ?

Please have a look http://www.luxos.com in iE7 Browser, Please help me it seems no way to go out from this

here is CSS code whis i am using for IE7 CSS

#head-nav { height: 35px; right:149px;}

#head-nav li{ position: relative; }


#head-nav li .subnav{z-index:99999;}
.subnav-viewport {z-index:99999;}

Your page is suffering from an IE7 bug.

In this specific case, you can fix it by following these steps:

• On #head-nav, add z-index: 1.
• On #header, remove position: relative.
• Unfortunately, your header is now slightly broken. To fix it, on a#head-logo change bottom: 63px to top: 28px.
