I have my new site design done except for the one error. Please visit my site http://www.ccsswimteam.com to see what I am talking about. What is happening if you use MOZILLA FIREFOX is that navigation drop down boxes with go behind the content in the "content div". I am stuck on what to do to fix this. It works fine in Internet Explorer but not in Firefox.
Could it be the z-index? I'm no pro but if you don't have a z-index on the css for the drop downs you could try it to make them layer on top...good luck
I have updated to Firefox 3 today and that fixed the problem. So it works correct in Internet Explorer, Safari, and Firefox 3. It does not work with Firefox before 3. Any ideas now?
not sure what causes the difference between FF2 and 3, but there have been loads of changes to the Gecko engine, which may explain the improvement on your site.
the only thing I can think of at the moment is to use includes for the menu. as in, have the menus as a separate php or asp file and call that from the main page. im pretty sure that will force the menu drop downs to stay on top.

Hmmm.... Ok sounds like a better plan than what I had. Can you give me a quick tutorial on how to do that? I will make a separate php file. You don't have to give too much detail just enough to jog the mind and get it to work.
basically you need a php or asp file, lets use asp as an example, with your nav bar set out as a table. you can use one for each drop down, giving each file a relative name, such as contact, about etc
then call that from your html page for each drop down using
html4strict Code:
<!--#include file="contact.asp" -->

Well I gave that a try and no luck. I have it set up as a php file and calling forth another php function. That didn't seem to do the trick. Are Firefox users being told to upgrade to 3 when they open their browser? That would solve the problem.
