[Pro] Freeway 6 displaying WOW Slider incorrectly

Hi Everyone, I’ve got a slight issue with the way FW6 is displaying WOW slider:

This is a page done in FW5.6:

http://www.mpscreative2.co.uk/client/yf/1/index.html

The same page when opened with, uploaded from, FW6 has the WOW Slider-generated shadow missing (it looks like it’s not showing above the

that contains the code:

I know v6 handles box model slightly differently but do I need to do a bit of surgery?

Any help would be gratefully received.

Many thanks

Mark

Mark, the links you provide show what is happening in FWP5 not Pro6 –
makes it hard to diagnose.

Okay, thanks for the second link.

What I can see is the div “BodyDiv” is covering your shadow. To fix this we
need to move the div “menuDiv” higher up the z-axis (that is, towards the
viewer). In CSS, the attribute for this is z-index.

Normally an item’s z-index can be set in Freeway Pro’s Inspector palette –
however, the option is not available with many popular construction methods
like inline layout. So, let’s cover how to set it manually.

Select the item “menuDiv” then choose menu Item > Extended…

In the Div Style pane, add a new attribute:

  Name: z-index
  Value: 99

This should fix it.

I also noticed a slight gap under the div “menu” when this was fixed.
Reducing the hight a pixel made me happier about it.

Thanks a million Ernie. I wondered if it was something like that but wasn’t sure how to cure.

Strange though that this doesn’t happen in 5?

Thanks again, I’ll give it a try when I get back to the office later

Sorry, Mark, but you’ve not followed my directions…

Select the item “menuDiv” then choose menu Item > Extended…

In the Div Style pane, add a new attribute:

 Name: z-index
 Value: 99

This should fix it.

Navigating around the FWP Extended interface options can be confusing –
seems like I’ve noticed a trend with FreewayTalkers resorting to
screen-grabs to help illuminate things.

Best wishes,
