CSSFriendly menubar is behind (z order) dynamic populated gridview in IE but not firefox

Question

User-166419857 posted

I am dynamically populating a gridview.  After it is display it shows up in front of the the dropdown menu from the CSSFriendly menubar when I am using

IE.  For firefox it works as expected.  I have tried setting the z-order of the gridview to 1 so that nothing is behind it...but this did not work.   The gridview it self is NOT created dynamically.  It is only populated dynamically and then done with a databind (of course).   I have tried doing a visible  true/false but this made no difference either.    After there any experts out there in how the dropdown menu works who could help me on this....as I say it is only for IE (version 6) that I having this problem.    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

My first suggestion is that you study (very carefully) the posting http://forums.asp.net/t/1025999.aspx. What you are running into is something that others have hit, too. It isn't really a problem with the adapters. You are simply hitting a very subtle but important problem with the way that z-index is handled (inconsistently) across browsers. The posting I alluded to explains how to fix this for IE.
