Global navigation drop-down menus hidning behind lists in datasheet view
Hi , We are having SP 2010 Collaboration site. We are facing the issue with Top navigation Menus. The Global Navigation Drop Down Menus are hiding behind the Lists when opened in Datasheet view. We tried to work it out by changing the Z index in CSS, but no fix could be achieved. Please let me know if you have any inputs. sharath kumart shivarama

I believe that you had make a custom master page for that site. Do you mind post some html of master page here or give a screenshot for it? This will help us to give any suggestion/workaround :) Cheers

We have seen a soluition which is somethig like this " Found an article about windowed versus windowless elements (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/177378). Object tags, active-x, plug-ins and i-frames are windowed elements and sit on a different MSHTML plane than windowless elements (iframes in >=IE5.5, DHTML). You can manipulate the z-index position of elements on the same plane but not across planes. The windowed plane always sits over the windowless plane. This explains why the nav menu is hidden below the datasheet view and is unaffected by z-index values. Now for a potential fix: I found a thread regarding a similar issue with windowed elements covering jQuery modal windows and tested the bgiframe solution here (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1924785/modal-dialog-over-activex-control). If you position an iframe of the same dimension and at the same position as the drop down menu, but at a lower z-index, it will allow the drop down menu to show above any windowed element (i.e. the datasheet view). I've successfully tested this, but I am still working on the code to dynamically set the dimension and position based on the position and number of dynamic menus. There is also a slight flicker as you mouseover the menus, but it's a least a start. Here's the POC: " But this is only for windowed element which has static dimension. how do we fix this issue if it is dynamic??? Regards, Sharathsharath kumart shivarama
