You’ll learn how to organize, ingest, transcode, tag, comment, subclip, and build a rough cut before sending media on to Premiere Pro for editing — the complete workflow with the new Adobe Prelude CS6.
  • Special Adobe CS6 branded items including tee shirts, stickers and more.
  • And of course we’ll have our usual great raffle books from our ever-loyal book publishing sponsors Focal Press and Peachpit Press.

How to fix IE7 and IE8 drop down menu from falling behind and image or slideshow.

April 19, 2012 in Tips and Tricks

I just found this to be incredibly helpful and figured I’d post it in case it helps someone out in the future.  I was having a problem with a CSS drop down menu where IE8 (anything pre-IE9) was “falling behind” a slideshow.  I found this to resolve my issue:  http://www.coffeecup.com/forums/html-editor/fix-for-dropdown-menu-displaying-behind-image-content-below-the-/?page=1&forum_user_posts_per_page=all  (Seriously, thank you Tracey for taking the time to post your solution!)

Basically, this person said to wrap the menu in it’s own div tag <div id=”iefix”>, then apply the following CSS to it:

#iefix {
position:relative;
z-index:1000;
}

Worked like a charm for me!
