I use Dreamweaver so creating drop-down menus is a snap using Spry. After previewing the index page in the browser I noticed a familiar problem. The index page has a flash animation as it’s main content and the items from the drop-down menu were appearing behind the flash window. Simple fix as I had been through this before. Just change the wmode parameter of the flash file to transparent and pat myself on the back for a job well done. Well, it didn’t work. The first day and a half was spent trying to figure out why changing the wmode worked on another site I had built in the past but not this one. I was about to pull my hair out, such as it is, when I realized that the menu was not just appearing behind the flash animation but any content in the div below it. That’s when it hit me that it was a z-index issue. Once again, simple fix. Just assign the div containing the navigation a higher z-index than the div that appears below it. Didn’t work. The second day and a half was spent searching for a solution and then blindly applying position and z-index attributes to various divs in the header element and the content element. I was about to pull my hair out (such as it is) when I stumbled upon the answer found at http://verens.com/archives/2005/07/15/ie-z-index-bug.

]]> Comment on jQuery 1.3 With PHP: Calendars by Kae Verens http://verens.com/archives/2009/06/29/php-jquery-calendars/comment-page-1/#comment-120894 Kae Verens Sat, 13 Feb 2010 10:15:36 +0000 http://verens.com/?p=741#comment-120894 lol! yeah, it would be nice if I had the time! I /am/ planning on writing up a proper example, but I simply have no time at the moment. Keep tuned. To be honest, I'm actually surprised I would need to do this - the hard part was the interaction of the calender with the server; the rest is just a matter of saving it in a database. There's nothing esoteric about it. I also don't like going back over old examples. Maybe if I write up an enhancement? For example, this article was about a weekly view, but it would be nice to have it switch to a monthly view on demand. I do plan on doing this, hopefully this weekend, but I have two paying jobs I need to complete first, and I'm not sure they'll leave much time afterwards. lol! yeah, it would be nice if I had the time!
