    During a vid test I noticed that the dropdown menus stay behind the videos. Quite like what we had a few months back with the banner advert.

    wow... one of the fastest derailments of a thread EVAR....

    Can you link me up an example? This problem has a certain Eau-De-Talliesin about it, he's got the big brain of HTML you see.

    Unfortunately, there are some elements which browsers on some operating systems (just which elements and under which conditions varies from browser to browser) will always place at the z-index "top", no matter what z-index the CSS says it should have. This is because it uses a different window to render it (in Windows not just the things we normally call "windows" are windows, but a lot of other controls too - similar issues may or may not apply to other WIMPy shells in other operating systems in different ways) and that window isn't a lightweight window, so it isn't very good at hiding bits of itself when it should.

    I'm trying to remember if I ever found a better solution than just hiding all such elements that could be near a pop-up menu when the pop-up was being displayed. I may have, but it's been a while since I dealt with that sort of code.
