Firefox CSS Bug

written by Steven on October 23, 2007

If you do:

overflow: auto;

on a tbody tag, then firefox will ignore any z-index on that tag or its children.

getting a bit specific there aren’t ya Steve? Who uses z-index anyways, or tables for that matter? :)

Sandro,

In Less Accounting I have a table at the top of many pages, that actually displays…wait for it…tabular data. Now I want to add a javascript menu to the table but it doesn’t quite work because the z-index is ignored. So it will have to implement the table another way.

Sounds like you will need the IFrame trick for that. I had this problem on a calendar but just used the iframe trick, and never figured out it was s firefox issue.
