Hello, we are having a problem with the way Nice Menus is displaying drop down menus in IE7:

http://www.cogent-tech.com/news

On all other pages, the "Products" drop down is above the page/node title.

But on this news page, which is a taxonomy, the drop down for Products goes behind the title.

I tried installing the newest version of Nice Menus, but that doesn't seem to have helped. I also looked through the other support requests and didn't see any other similar reports. As you are hopefully able to verify by visiting the page above, it *is* a problem and the client needs it fixed.

Thanks for creating Nice Menus, and for looking into this problem.

Jim

I should add that perhaps it isn't a function of being on a Taxonomy page after all. After further inspection, I'm seeing a similar problem on:

http://www.cogent-tech.com/about

The 2nd level of menus coming off the "Ink Drying" item go under the body text in IE7 as well.

Looking forward to any response,

Jim

Hm, that is weird and I've not seen this particular z-index type problem before. Have you looked at other issues that deal with z-index or stacking problems? Like http://drupal.org/node/192131. I'm not sure but it seems like a related issue in that it is landing behind another element on the page, just normally that is a whole block element like a div or something and this appears to just be with the text.

I'll play with this over the weekend and see if I can find anything else to try. I'm also marking this support since browser behavior is generally not considered buggy unless it can be reproduced in a core theme.

Jim, try removing this from zengine.css (line 66):

.block, .node {
  position:relative;
}

This is the same issue as what happened in the issue I linked to above. Too much position:relative; apparently messes IE up.

marking needs more info to see if that suggestion fixes the problem.

Yes that worked :)

I removed what you suggested from zengine.css and it now it's looking good.

Thanks!

w00t! Good news. I'll mark this fixed. I've already added this IE position thingy to the Nice Menus FAQ.

The same problem was happening for me due to an a:hover definition on one of my nice menus. I found that the #main content area had position: relative, and now it's fixed after removing that.
