UI updates mostly

Minor UI updates, for example the menu. Looked horrible on IE, works now. Also, I found IE(7) re-sizes a drop menu as soon as it is displayed - WTF??? And, worse, when I add a div.onresize event handler function to recalculate the shadow (for 3d effect) size I put below that menu IE7 freezes! Two bugs at once - I dropped the shadow. Not that this is important. I also found with IE(7) I have to set z-index not just for position:absolute, but also for position:relative, or the drop menu background is transparent (i.e. the contents of the drop menu is above the page, but the background is not, causing havoc). So nothing important happened today.

    Hi,

    Thanks for your tip with IE7 also needing position: relative to have z-index set.

    I have a CSS menu which shows perfect in FF2, but in IE7 the menu is hidden underneath the rest of the page’s content.

    Setting z-index: 99 on the menu’s container (even though it’s position: relative) fixed the issue - so thanks!

    Andy
