The Overlay module is part of Drupal Core and enabled by default. After enabling Absolute Messages, visit the modules list page with overlay, e.g. at: http://example.com/#overlay=admin/modules

Enable and disable any module. The status message does not display.

On other pages some messages, warnings and errors are critical. The risk of them being ignored is considerable.

This module does what it does very well besides this. Keep up the fine work and nail this bug.

This only occurs when 'Fix message bar to the top of browser's viewport' is enabled, under the module configuration.

I found enabling this checkbox is the preferable option, performance wise, and more importantly design wise as it groups the messages nicely with the administration menu.

I'm still having this issue...

I'm running Admin Menu RC3 (and Admin Menu Toolbar) and the latest dev version of Absolute Messages. The messages are appearing behind the admin menu when the overlay is present, though it works fine on non-overlaid pages (see screenshot).

I think this has to do with the fact that the messages div is added to the overlay iframe, while the admin menu is displayed outside of the iframe on the regular page...

Might be simply a problem with the z-index weight of the absolute messages. Experiment with a higher value in the CSS and see if the messages appear.

Nope, it seems to be a problem with the combination of two z-indexes; I was only able to get the full absolute message showing by setting the z-index of the main overlay (#overlay-container) higher than the admin menu (z-index: 1000;), then the iframe in the overlay (iframe.overlay-element.overlay-active) to the same (z-index: 1000;).

Can you post your solution a bit more precisely to indicate clearly what you did to fix the issue.

What I did in #6 didn't fix the issue, it merely shows that simply adjusting the z-index of Absolute Messages isn't the answer (since the z-index of other elements outside of this module also come into play).

I'm no longer using this module so don't think I'll be much more help with fixing this. If no one else is experiencing this issue feel free to close it again.
