Berger Tue, 09 Dec 2008 17:19:20 +0000 http://www.last-child.com/conflicting-z-index-in-ie6/#comment-30180 We ended up using the bgiframe jquery plugin (http://plugins.jquery.com/project/bgiframe). It implements the iframe "shield" technique in a library. I figure that making IE6 users have to have a bit more of a library download penalty (which isn't really all that much) so that I don't have to go crazy about IE6 bleedthru is worth it.

I decided to use jquery to change the z-index of the second level menu as needed: $('ul#primary-menu > li').hover( function(){ $('#secondary-menu').css("zIndex","-1"); }, function(){ $('#secondary-menu').css("zIndex","5"); } ); hope that helps someone.

hope that helps someone.

I've been working for three days to fix two elements (one on top of the other), scouring the Internet, and the zindex -1 fix worked! Thanks for all your contributions.

I fixed it by changing the z-index to be around the parent element. It does not like it if it is around a child element. I also had this problem.
