Javascript menu showing through Lightbox...

[smoo1604]

I have used a javascript horizontal menu along the top of page, and have the lightbox script running for viewing pictures in a gallery. Only problem is when the picture is clicked on and opens via the lightbox script, i can still see the javascript menu through the picture... any ideas how to override javascript menu when lightbox image is enlarged?

thanks!

In most cases, increasing all z-index values in the lightbox.css file by a factor of 100 will take care of this.

If you want more help:

Please post a link to the page on your site that contains the problematic code so we can check it out.

ah yes would make sense!!

to resolve problem at the moment i have removed the menu script for the gallery pages and put a simple link back to main page at bottom of pictures.

have put a dummy page up though so problem can be seen! its

That's an older version of Lightbox (still listed in the library here, as it is the original version and simpler in some ways) with no z-index styles in the stylesheet. Use this as your lightbox.css file:

#lightbox{
	background-color:#eee;
	padding: 10px;
	border-bottom: 2px solid #666;
	border-right: 2px solid #666;
	z-index: 10000!important;
	}
#lightboxDetails{
	font-size: 0.8em;
	padding-top: 0.4em;
	z-index: 10000!important;
	}	
#lightboxCaption{ float: left;	z-index: 10000!important;
 }
#keyboardMsg{ float: right; }
#closeButton{ top: 5px; right: 5px; }

#lightbox img{ border: none; clear: both;} 
#overlay img{ border: none; }

#overlay{ background-image: url(overlay.png); 	z-index: 9000!important;
}

* html #overlay{
	background-color: #333;
	back\ground-color: transparent;
	background-image: url(blank.gif);
	filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.AlphaImageLoader(src="overlay.png", sizingMethod="scale");
	}

And since these are both Dynamic Drive scripts, you should have posted in the Dynamic Drive Scripts Help section. But don't worry about that now, next time though . . .
