Netscape 6 - iframes

[A1ien51]

okay, before I bang my head on the desk about 1000 times. Do IFrames act like the form elements in NN4 where no layers can go on top of them?

I have a menu I am building with an ilayer near it.

if this is the case I am going to scream after hours of work....lol

I know that IE5.5 added z-index support for IFRAMES, but I don't think that Gecko does, and pre-gecko versions of NS certainly don't.

So ya, layer's won't go over IFRAMES unless it's IE 5.5 or IE6

I am using N 6 and it will not go over the ilayer......
hmmmm

guess i need to play around a bit...

NS6 is ancient. Try NS7, and if it still doesn't work, then you can assume it doesn't support z-index'ing on <iframe>s.

lol.....ancient by what??/ 2 months....lol
what I have to do with N 6 users, i have to hide the ilayers in order for them to view the information in my menu
Looks like crap, but it does the job.

do not weant to redo my whole design due to that little flaw in N6 css support,,,,lol........not a flaw i know.......

The Gecko rendering engine improves at such an astonishing rate, that you could consider 2 months ancient. The engine differences are especially noticable between NS6.0 and NS 6.2, where lots of issues were fixed in Mozilla builds, and incorporated into NS.
You shouldn't see many differences between recent versions of NS though after 7.0. The Mozilla 1.0.1 base is very nice, stable, and consistent. Most future improvements will have less and less to do with rendering... I never noticed any significant differences in rendering between Moz 1.0 and 1.1, nor do I expect to see many differences in 1.2 alpha (coming very soon btw - apparently the nightlies identify themselves as it).
