By golly i thought that only happend on IE6!!
Sometimes a drop down will go UNDER something instead of ABOVE IT and i thought it was just IE6!!
Like this here
http://web.archive.org/web/200710121...o-info.com/smf
Hover over REGISTER .. On IE6 the drop down from it GOES UNDER the drop-down frame below..... Does it do this on FF also??
The site has changed skins since so i had to used a cached copy to show what i mean on it.......
EDIT:
I think i know why!!
They didnt give that menu TOP PRIORITY so the browser is not treating it as important!!
Im not sure FF does it in the banner you list above!

I'm using firefox 3.0.10, and it does it every time for that ad only.
Is it something to do with the fact that it is a roll over ad?
All I have to say is get rid off it or fix it. It is very annoying.

It been doing this forever. I just got the ADP add-on, eventually to filter all that site breaking crap.

It's the fact that a playing movie usually expects to be on top, combined with the fact that the dropdown does not render until it activates.
We need some limits on what ads can do:
- They must not use up all of the CPU time.*
- They must not do anything when the mouse rolls over them.*
- They must not scroll the screen to show the ad.
- They must not hide the insertion point.
- They must not freeze the mouse.
- They must not expand to cover other parts of the page.
- They must not make sounds.
- They must not prevent navigation.
- They must not advertise anything a child should not see.
And here is a lost of things I would prefer that ads not do:
- No animation. It's extremely distracting.
- No blinking text.
- Any link should be a visible link, not the entire ad.
- Following the link must not destroy the browser history.*
* This should be true for all websites, not just ads.

A misconfiguration people make by NOT MAKING THOSE DROP DOWNS "Priority" so they appear "ON TOP" of everything else.....
Maybe its not an IE6 problem!!
THANX BUDDY!!
I think itsa problem with some ads messing with the Z order?
If i am helpful, please give me reputation points.

Nope, that's not it. It's a problem with some Flash-based ads setting their wmode to window as opposed to opaque and transparent. Flash movies in the window mode do not render as part of the page's DOM but instead actually sit in a separate "window" on top of the entire web browser, after the page has completely rendered. Therefore, it's impossible for anything to draw on top of it. (The benefit to this mode is that Flash rendering bypasses being drawn by the web browser and so it's much faster. However, it's obviously not designed for advertising and other Flash elements that are supposed to be integrated within web designs.) Unfortunately, the wmode for an individual ad cannot be set on our end nor do we have the ear of the people who can change it.
