CSS Flyout Oddity.

[chufty bill]

Hi.

I have just installed the latest version CSS Flyout module into my 1.3.5 Zen.

In IE 6 all the category flyouts etc are working great!
BUT for some reason the flyouts go below ANY product image on any page in the centrebox (Main Content) but over all text.

In Firefox I get the same problem, PLUS some extra purple lines are appearing in between some of the categories.

Any ideas?

My site is live so I am down for maintenence while trying to correct, so dont know if I can show anyone my problem.

Regards Chris

Rule # 1 - When adding, changing to even thinking about doing anything to your Zen Cart site. BACKUP!!!!

Rule # 2 - Before doing anything in Rule # 1 - Test the addon, change or whatever in your test site.

Hi Kim.

I did back my site up.

I decided to add the flyout as an afterthought, and regarding the test site, I tried to set one up, following instructions from numerus different threads, but kept getting errors, and couldnt set it up, so i gave up. Sometimes I have asked questions in a thread that never get answered. So I just do the best I can. This is not ideal, but if your thread doesnt get answered and buried under all the others, what else can you do?

Many people view my threads but do not always answer (maybe they dont know the answer). Then if others see your thread has been viewed numerous times tend to ignore it. As may happen in this thread. Now you have answered, chances are I wont be offered a solution.

I appreciate I have a lack of patience at times, but if you look at the forum, there are many threads that go answered, and I personally dont always have time to wait days for replies.

Kind Regards
Chris

G'day,

When I checked your site, the flyouts were not working with IE6.

Anyway, chances are you might need to look at using z-index values in your CSS file to adjust what page elements should appear in which layer.

I haven't finished getting CSS Flyouts working yet, but if I get this problem, that's where I'd start looking.

Hi Lloyd.

Thanks for the reply.

I now have my CSS Flyouts working. You were correct regarding the z-index value which I found in another thread. Its been quite a lot of tweaking to get the flyout to work and display correctly in both IE6 and Firefox, but I think I have managed it.

My only problem now is that the submenu sometimes drops out of view and the user has to do awkward scrolling to select from the sub menu. I have altered the category sort order temoprarily until I can resolve this.

Its a nice looking module, so bear with it, Im sure you'll get it sorted one way or another. If I come acroos any threads that may help you, I will let you know, as you are probably more code 'savvy' than me.

Good luck!

Kind Regards
Chris
