working…
grrr. netscape is oppressing me again. does anyone know how to get a layer to appear above a form input in nutscrape? my pop up layer keeps coming up behind it. i guess if there is no way around it i change my design… grrumph!
i have gotten a lot done tonight – both work and normal daily things. i cooked dinner, put the clean dishes away, ate with danny, clean up the dinner dishes, and baked a cake. mmm cake. maybe i should have some of that soon. it is a spice bundt cake with cream cheese frosting.
cake to the first person who can tell me how to fix my layer i netscape! um, okay not really, hehe… but you will get my gratitude.
netscape really, really does not like layers — if i knew of a fix, i would tell ya!
it seems there is none so i am just avoiding the form…
hmmm
…and what aboout the z-index no.?
I keep trying but Netscrape for mac just isn’t playing ball. Sometimes, Explerror is just better :o/
I’ve noticed that netscape only likes it when you layer things in paragraph tags like this:
p.first { z-index : 2; position : absolute; top : auto; bottom : auto; left : auto; right : auto; } p.second { z-index : 1; position : absolute; top : auto; bottom : auto; left : auto; right : auto; }and then in order to get the layers moved around, put them inside div tags….
now do I get to come ovah for cake?
…BUT…it won’t look the same in IE
been there, done that.
it’s one of the many bugs/features of netscape.
it has to do with the way the engine renders the page,
and there isn’t really a way to hack around it.
‘z-index’ won’t help you at all.
i had the same problem with a page once before,
and read in the developer docs on the netscape site
(i think) about that little tidbit.
sorry for the bad news.
Re: been there, done that.
poo. ah well – you can all come over for cake anyway…
If I am understanding what you are trying to do correctly, and by “above” you mean “on top of” you need to write some javascript to hide the form when the layer pops up, and show it again when the layer pops down. Had to do much the same thing when writing some DHTML menus a couple months ago…I hate Netscape.
