Problem with iframe and drop down menu in Firefox

[katrina123]

Hi all,
I am facing a weird problem using iframe in FF. When we drop down a menu that gets hidden behind the iframe not matter what the z-index i set for drop down.Please let me know if there is a way we can make iframe opaque.Thanks in advance

In FF, the iframe is a window object and will always have visual priority over other objects. I think they did something in IE to make things work differently, but FF is still behind the curve for form objects and visibility issues.

The Suckerfish dropdown will cover an iframe.
Which menu system are you using?

I don't know the type of menu system we are using..... but now we changed our code not to use iframe which helped me resolve the problem..Thanks for your replies

.... but FF is still behind the curve for form objects and visibility issues. :D It's more likely that IE broke the Accessibility rules to make it work the way it does, while Firefox maintains correct albeit in this case, unwanted behaviour. Yet, one can make content (like navigation, etc.) lay overtop of iframe content, just like being able to make content/element display overtop of FLASH objects, and still be correct for all browsers.. :) .

I am having a problem where the navigation drop down menu is appearing behind an inframe that contains an external file displayed it. I tried all of z-index stuff and only IE works. Thanks in advance for your feedback.
