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

[Daddy-Sysmac]

I am new to Spry and Dreamweaver CS3 and would appreciate any help anyone can give. I am having an issue with Spry Tabbed Panels appearing above a navigation bar pop up menu only in IE6 and IE7. Everyhting works like expected in FF. I have several product pages that are exhibiting the same issue. I am not having this issue when using Spry Accordian. Would someone be able to educate me on what I can do to fix this problem. One of the product pages that is exhibiting this problem is Page with display issue

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:

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.
