From: Wayne-I-M on 28 Feb 2010 16:13 Hi Wndows 7 (expression web - bit also tried frontpage) Sorry if this is the wrong place but all the win7 forums seem to be a little .....hmmmm :-( I have a page consisting of a css drop-down menu and a couple of pictues. Sounds somple ? driving me mad. All I am rying to do is to center the whole lot and have the drop-down show over the pictures on-mouse-over I can center the css drop down ona div (set the left and right margins to auto) and include the pictures in divs - everything centers really well. Down no matter what I do I can't get the z-index of the pictures to be lower than the drop-down (so the pictues are always on top) I have tried to put each section in layers - this time the drop-down and pictures are all in order (the drop-down shows over the pictues) - but I can't center them (without giving absolute values - which I don't want). Sorry I can't post the page as it's on my win7 machine and it's not on the web (am previewing on the machines browser). So, have anyone been through this before - or has anyone got a web link that may help. Don't really want to spend another day on this (should be simple) problem. Thanks for any help -- Wayne Manchester, England.
From: Ronx on 28 Feb 2010 16:41 z-index only works with positioned elements. <div style="margin: 0 auto; width: 760px;">navigation with drop downs goes here</div> <div style="margin: 10px auto; width:760px;">Images goes here</div> Provided the page also has a complete and valid !doctype there is no reason why the menu dropdowns will go under the images, unless: The images are flash or silverlight movies The images are contained in absolutely positioned HTML elements. Seeing the page might help. -- Ron Symonds Microsoft MVP (Expression Web) http://www.rxs-enterprises.org/fp Reply only to group - emails will be deleted unread.

From: Jon Spivey on 1 Mar 2010 09:53 If you set position:relative you can then use z index, eg <div id="dropdown" style="position:relative;z-index:1000">dropdown</div> <div id="images" style="position:relative;z-index:1">images</div> Cheers, Jon http://MyMobileDeal.com "Wayne-I-M" <WayneIM(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:9FF08DEE-940E-45A2-97AC-8DE4CC31079E(a)microsoft.com... > Hi > > Wndows 7 (expression web - bit also tried frontpage) > > Sorry if this is the wrong place but all the win7 forums seem to be a > little > ....hmmmm :-( > > I have a page consisting of a css drop-down menu and a couple of pictues. > Sounds somple ? driving me mad.
