Spry Tabbed Panels overwritting popup menu in IE6 and IE7 but display fine in Firefox

After receiving your post, I did some additional research on the browsers handling z-indexing and then implemented your suggestion and everything worked correctly in IE6 and IE7 just as you thought. I think the z-indexing is the root of some of my other less noticeable issues. I will use the Spry Forum from now on, now that I know there is a forum for Spry related posts. Thank you so much for your help.

What may be happening is that the z-index of your menu may not be set above the z-index of the tabs. Haven't investigated those much, but check the CSS you're using (and the tabs too) to see what z-index if any is being used and modify them (higher z-index equals higher levels in the "stack") until you get the desired result.

You should ask future Spry related questions in the Spry forum:
