Sorry, I had better expand on what I said in my previous post, as I am sure you won't access the image. (screenshot). I have got 3 <divs> going accross the page. My new form is in the centre div and my navigation div is to the left. The nav. was created in menu designer, but when I hover on the menu to expand to sub-menus, they drift BEHIND the form. By the way, my default browser is Firefox (latest), the form is there. Nothing, except a small icon appears in IE (latest version). This does not happen with other pages, e.g. index.html (Home).
I would be grateful for ideas and suggestions. :rolleyes:

If you have uploaded the page, it would be best to let us have the URL, so that we can see the code.

Without having access to the code my guess is that you are using VSD, and that you inserted the navigation before you inserted the form. Then the form gets a higher Z value and thus comes on top. The Z value indicates what ends up on top of or is buried under something else.

The solution would then be to go backwards; remove the navigation until you have stuck everything else into the page, and then insert the navigation anew.

Hi Inger Eik,
Afraid it's not been up-loaded. I am completely re-building the site and doing it all "earth-side" for the time being. I don't know what VSD is, but I had thought to remove the navigation....I'm not sure its relevant on this form page anyway. Completion of the form > SUBMIT, will take the visitor to payment stuff anyway. However, I will take your advice and re-code the nav. last thing.
I must say these forums are very helpful and I appreciate the time you experts devote to newbies like myself.
Thanks again.

Thanks for your input! After going back to some old notes, it hit me! You have to add a "wmode" "opaque" parameter to this code as I have done below.

Thanks,

Don Whitfield

VSD is short for Visual Site Designer, the 'drag and drop' sitebuilder from CoffeeCup. Since that is not what you are using, the solution posted by J. Storck will help you solve the problem.

It's a good thing if those asking for help could give some info about which apps. they are using, then we don't have to make guesses.

Thank u J.Storck, this will help I am sure. I'll let you know.

Hi Inger Eik, you are absolutely right, I will try to remember that you need information, in order to help newbies like me. It is a shame my site is not live, but at least I can insert code for experts to look at.....Sorry.
