| Please help.
I am developing a site for the second time. First was basic - and now am
rebuilding. I have built a graphic in Fireworks with Pop up menus, but when I
put in layers, the pop up is under the text.
Any ideas?

| change the z-index of those other layers, so they are behind the menus.
note- it is text, and not flash .swf or form elements; right?

| Most likely this is not going to be easy, Alan.
If the pop-up menus are the dreaded DW/FW pop-ups, or in fact any all
javascript menu system, the z-index of the menus is hardcoded into the
javascript. In order to change that, one would need to edit the menu
javascript itself.
That's another reason to hate those menus, and to seek one of the many less
troublesome alternatives.

| I didn't say change the pop-up menu's z-index.
Change the z-index of the OTHER layers.
So that those OTHER layers are behind the menu.
btw- i also think those menus blow chunks. But where you've already used
them, it's a minor tweak in the Layers panel on all the other layers to get
them to show on top.

| Alan:
How - the pop-ups are harcoded at z-index of 1. The only way to do it would
be to recode the pop-ups to z-index of 2 and then put the page layers at
z-index of 1.

| Hey Guys
Thanks a lot. I changed the Z index to -1 and zippo.
That was such a relief. thought hours of work down the pan.... Works a treat.
Please check out www.careermax.co.uk in a day or so..
I really appreciated your help.

| -1 won't work reliably. That's why I said it would be trouble. Hours of
work are still down the pan, because you haven't yet discovered that you
site won't be spidered for search engines or that renaming or moving one
linked file will break each page with those menus.
But that's later.

| Ooops. Spoke too soon. While the pop ups now display in front of the layer - unfortunatly the scroll bar in the layer overflow doesnt work.
Any ideas?
