Z-Ordering and IE7

Hey all

Having a little problem with a site I'm working on for a friend.

This is the draft, just getting layouts etc sorted

http://www.gordongetaways.com/germania/

Basically, the dropdown menus work fine in Firefox, but in IE7 they appear behind the text (at least I think thats what happens).

Anyone whose a dab hand at the old CSS/Javascript menus like this that could give me a pointer at where I've gone wrong, it would be much appreciated. Kinda put the code together myself after reading a few things on the net. I understand what its doing and how it works, just not why its failing in IE

Thanks in advance

search for "suckerfish dropdowns" - they're more symantecly correct and they don't need javascript at all.

cool. thanks for the pointer. i'll investigate these.

my dropdowns were already list based rather than tables and i only used the Javascript for some hiding and unhiding but this looks a little smoother.

thanks again
