[Pro] Submenus in Inline Layout

Hi,
I’m learning to use the inline layout and I’m having a couple of problems.

I have a menu with a dropdown submenu. This menu is placed in an inline html box and is positioned at the bottom of it. When this dropdown is activated, it only shows the first pixels of it until it reaches the bottom line of the inline box. How can I correct this? I don’t believe I have to increase the html inline box’s height.

Can anyone help on this?

Sorry, not online yet.
I’m reading other posts here, on this issue, and it seems a bit tricky and disappointing.

Basically, I nedd my css dropdown menu to overlap it’s inline box (header) and show in front of the main content (also inline).
Is this possible? I mean, with FW6Pro?

Yes, it is possible but without seeing what’s in the way how can anyone say?

Well, it may be very solvable - but without seeing The Specific Problem,
any answer anyone offers is actually a guess.

Here’s an idea: Use a service like Dropbox to upload your problem site
files - here’s a link to get a free account: Dropbox.com

Upload your site files (or at least the html file in question along with
any css file) to your Dropbox Public folder. Use the sharing icon on the
Dropbox site to get the link to it then post that back to this thread.

When you have your account, there is by default a Public Folder. When you
open it in your browser, there are some icons at the top of that screen -
one is a Share Link icon that gets the link to the current shared window.
Press the “get the link” button in the window that results from the Share
Link icon and paste it here. Here is mine:

Thanks Ernie,
I deleted that public folder some years ago. Now it’s restored.

Okay, Daemon - thanks for sharing that. You can delete now, if you like.

I can see in the code that you have been experimenting with the z-index
value on some items - you can remove that work.

What is happening is the #MainSection and #BottomSection are covering the
drop-down. This is because the layering order of inline items always
increases with the order that the items are added… so when you look at the
item outline in the Page / Site pane on the left of the Workspace, items
near the top are toward the back and items near the bottom are towards the
front.

So, now that we know this – we know the item that needs the improved index
is in fact the #TopSection item. Go ahead and extend the style for that
item with a z-index of 99 (ridiculous number guarantees nothing above it)
and you will be golden.

I did that adding a z-index=99 in

. It didn’t work. Then I tried the and… voilá.

Now I have my drop down menu above MainSection.
It was so simple. I’m impressed. You rule.

The Big Erns, that name fits you well.
Thanks!
