i use opera 8, try it.

goto unattended.msfn.org and behold... the google ad shows up in front of the dropdown menu items so i cant see the submenus.

i payed for opera so would like to know wether it's a bug in opera or in the page coding. dunno jack sjit about html so couldn't check myself.

cheers

No idea why it happens for you. The google ads are positioned below for me...

My spec:

Version information
Version    8.0  
Build    7561

Are you using User CSS or JS? If so, then maybe what you describe _might_ happen.

I gat you a possible solution from Opera Mailing lists:

>> http://www.extremetech.com/article2/0,1558,1791558,00.asp

>>

>> Has an advertisement where the inserted image overlaps the frame.

I see what you mean. It's a combination of two things: the page is in 

"quirks" mode. Forcing "standards" mode fixes the overlap in Opera. The 

second thing is that Opera always renders iframes "on top".

The site can either use an appropriate DOCTYPE to get "standards" 

rendering, or they could remove the width/height dimensions on the span 

around the ad. I don't know if Opera fixing the iframe issue would help or 

not.

Doh!

Their forums cant be of much help coz this is not an opera problem.

The problem is with the coding of the site. As said above, the guide's pages are non-standards compliant, as in they don't have a DOCTYPE declaration.

dang it! I stopped making it W3C compliant primarily becaue almost EVERY page would have to be rewritten for the minority of people using Opera browsers. But since finals are almost over....I'll look into it.

Now to decide which standard to adhere to.....there's just so many. HTML 4.0 Transitional is probably the one that is closest to the current site.

2 threads below i reported it :)

suggested them to ask on the opera forum, but they think it is only for opera support :blink: .

guess i should tell m they'll gladly help out to find the code that causes this, just to improve interoperability. :whistle:

maybe they'll read this, maybe they won't... but the sitemap will be accesible
