I'm trying to finish up a site but I can't seem to figure out why the popup summaries on the calendar go behind the subscribe buttons at the bottom of the calendar. I'm assuming it's a z-index issue but I can't figure out why none of the z-index css styles work.
The test url for the calendar page is http://powhatan.idtestsite.com/events. To see what I'm referring to go to the bottom of the calendar and hover over "Event 2". You'll see it goes behind the subscribe buttons.
Any help would be awesome!
What a mystery! You have position and z-index set on both elements...
Don't know how much it helps or hurts, but I did notice that the z-index behaves as expected in FF 14. In Chrome, I'm seeing the same behavior you report. Maybe that can help you track it down.
EDIT:
I found a solution - set the btn z-index to less than 0 (I used -1) and it behaves as expected in Chrome. This has to do with the lowest z-indexed item being absolutely positioned and the highest being relatively positioned. Sometimes those absolutely positioned elements write on top of relatively positioned ones, even though the indexes are set correctly.
I added the following to my CSS and elemented all other z-index styles that pertained to my calendar and it worked like a charm:
#ai1ec-calendar-view-container {
z-index: 1 !important;
}

I know this has been asked many times, and I have been searching for the answer in a lot of places but I can't seem to fix my code. Thank you for reading this because I'm going crazy here! First I had a different z-index problem with safari, than another with explorer, but now the z-index problem I'm having with mozila I can't fix in any way. I code in chrome, where it seems to work perfectly (for me it seems at least!)
I believe now it works more or less fine in most browsers but not on mozila. The idea of the page is to make (only with CSS because that's the only language supported by the website) a flipping book of several pages. I see some examples around of CSS only flipping cards (only one page), but not a book of more than one page. So I essentially overlap several "cards", in order to give this effect. You can see the demo from codepen here: pkrein/pen/qBOewem
Btw I do know this code is not as clean as it could be, but that's the way I figured to make a fuction like that works only with CSS, and I hope it will make sense for you.
Ok, so the matter is, the content inside the book pages is not "scrollable" on firefox. I guess this is indeed a z-index problem, because when I move any page outside the book, that is, from behind the rest of the content, it scrolls fine.
Let me know if I can give any more info that could help you understand my issue!
I figured a possible solution for this. It's not quite the solution for the problem itself but it's something that can make what I want to do work.
The problem was: (what I had to remove in order to make it work):
(1) The div #content-holder holding all the text inside the flap
(2) The div .preparation-text inside the .preparation (that's the text I want to scroll). That was a scrolling div (.preparation) inside a non-scrolling div (.preparation-text). I always add a scrolling div inside a non-scrolling div in order to hide the scrollbar, by adding a high padding-right to the inside div. I know I can use code to hide the scrollbar but it do not work in all browsers.
How I fixed:
(1) I just removed the #content-holedr divs, since it was not strictly necessary.
(2) I removed the .preparation-text and transformed .preparation into a scrolling div. Then I just covered the scrollbar with an image of the same size and colors as the background (a print of the layout).
I'm seeing some strange flickering in a JS submenu implemented using jQuery.hoverIntent on this page here. The flicker only occurs over images that are further down the page, hidden by the appearing menu in Chrome and Firefox and the whole menu actually renders behind those images in IE7. Weirdly, the previous implementation (here) works without the flicker. I'm fairly certain that it's CSS issue, since we are in the middle of a refactoring in which we're trying to consolidate stylesheets and scripts. Any help is greatly appreciated :)
EDIT:
Although my initial answer below still works to fix the issue, here is the real cause of the issue and a better fix.
The image further down in the page is in a positioned div (which is position relative). When the menu loads, it sets the z-index last. If you specify the z-index in your stylesheet, the fade will work and it will no longer flicker. This worked for me while inspecting:
ul#topMenuJs li.qnav0>div {
z-index:5;
}
OLD ANSWER: You are seeing the flicker because you are fading in the dropdown menu. You can do two things:
Get rid of the fade altogether and just do a .show() on the dropdown
Give the ul#topMenuJs li.qnav0>div an opacity:1 !important; to override the js
The latter I tested and it works.
All,
If you look at the following webpage:

If you scroll over the view recipes in IE8 it goes behind the scrolling images. I'm not sure why because the images have a z-index of 2 and the menu drop down has a z-index of 999. Any idea why this isn't working?
Thanks!
in IE, positioned elements start a new stacking order, causing what you are seeing. Sometimes you can give the parent element a higher z-index and it will solve the issue. Google for IE z-index bug and you'll find a fair amount of text on the subject.
Issue is Menu is not overlaping or float, above the IFrame i am design the menu with table and Div tag in Usercontrol From and i called Usercontrol from in the Index.aspx.
If any got the idea or experience to solve this issue please help me Thanks for Time and help

Most likely, you are running into an issue with z-index. For your menu, set the z-index for it and all of it's child controls to a high number, and then set the z-index on the iframe to a low number. If this doesn't solve your problem, you are going to need to continue setting the z-index in the parent elements of both your menu and your iframe because in some (all?) browsers, z-index does a sort of propagation, where if a parent has a lower z-index than one of its siblings, then the sibling will get priority and end up on top.
You also need to make sure that your elements have the css position property set to something other than the default, because z-index only works with positioned elements.
There are also known issues with older browsers with regards to iframes, so if you are using an older browser, try something more modern.
iframes are a tricky beast, so you are really going to have to experiment with various things to figure out your exact issue. I could provide more information, but I would need to see an example of your HTML/CSS where it isn't working.
I have a div and an iframe on the page
the div has
z-index: 0;
the iframe has its content with a popup having a z-index of 1000
z-index: 1000;
However, the div still overshadows the popup in IE (but works fine in Firefox).
Does anyone know what I can do?
Explorer Z-index bug
In general, http://www.quirksmode.org/ is an excellent reference for this sort of thing.
Which version of IE?
I'm no javascript guru, but I think hiding the div when the popup pops might accomplish what you need.
I've had to work with divs and iframes when creating a javascript menu that should show overtop dropdown boxes and listboxes -- other menu implementations just hide these items whose default behavior in IE6 is to show on top of any DIV, no matter the z-index.
I face the same problem. The problem in my case is that the content in the iframe is not controlled by IE directly, but by Acrobat as it is a pdf file. You can try to show the iframe without the content, in which case the popup displays normally. For some reason IE is not able to control the z-index for external helpers.
It was tested with IE7
Without seeing your code, it's difficult to determine the problem. But it's worth noting that z-index only works when the element has been positioned (e.g. position: absolute;), so perhaps that could be an issue?
There's a good article on CSS Z-index from the Mozilla Developer Center.
Without seeing a code snippet, it's hard to determine what the issue is. You may want to try appending an iframe under your popup that is the same size as your popup. With IE7 if you render the iframed popup after the other iframe has already loaded you should be able to cover up elements that are beneath. I believe some JS calendars and some lightbox/thickbox code does this if you are looking for examples.
never set your z-index to anything bellow 1 enless you want to hide it. I'm not sure about 7.0 but older versions of IE I've had issues with doing that. IE doesn't like z-index that much. Also check your positioning. Positioning may be your issue. sorry, i don't have enough info to help you further.
