ASP.Net menu

[Rhys666]

I'm using an ASP.Net menu control in a CSS controlled layout web application. The menu control and datasource are in a div in the Master page.

The problem I'm having is the menu items displaying underneath the controls in the Content Page and I don't seem to be getting anywhere by tring to set the z-index of items, (although I havn't gone completely gone down the tree of controls rendered by the .net framework yet). I'm also only looking at in IE 6 at the moment due to work constraints but will give it a go in Firefox tomorrow to see how it renders but in the meantime, has anyone else encountered this, have you found a way around it and if so how?

It's starting to drive me quite insane now so any help or pointers are greatfully appreciated...

...cheers!

Not sure if this is the same issue, but form elements (text boxes and such) have the highest Z on a page. So a layer will go under them, no matter what you set the Z of the layer to. The only work around I am aware of (short of designing you page so that they do no overlap) is to hide the control when the layer is visible. You would accomplish this with Javascript.

you could try floating the menu left and the content right.

Since you're using javascript to style this you may also want to check out

I'm not sure that is the case as I also have a SiteMapPath control in the Master page and I've got the menu control to appear over the top of the breadcrumb links rendered.

I'll have a scan at that, cheers.
