I have a menu on a Web Application Master Page.  When I select a menu item at the top level, the sub-menu items drop down, but they display UNDER other Master Page and Content Page controls.  I can't find any properties for the Menu that would control how the menu item displays.  I would think that the menu items should always display on top of any other items on the web form.  I searched the forums and Google but found no answers.

The code for the web form is below:

    <form id="form1" runat="server">
    <div>
        &nbsp;<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" style="width: 100%; height: 100%">

Try this

<div style="z-index: 100>

First of all, thank you for the very quick response.  I really appreciate that.

I tried putting the z-index style entry on the div; tr and the menu entry.  Non worked.  Then I stared at the code for a minute and realized that table row entries were in the code in a top-down format. Just the way I designed the form. And the page was being rendered in this order: 

• The Header Area which contained the menu control
• The Sales and Content Areas which contained the controls on the left and the content placeholder
• The Footer Area which contained the copyright info

And the thought occurred to me that if I put the Sales and Content Areas as the first table row, it would be rendered first and would probably display under any controls in the following Header Area.  And the good news is that it worked.  That simple change allowed the menu items to show properly on top of the content.

Although the z-index didn't work, thank you for sending the suggestion.  Because without the suggestion, I never would have thought about the display order of the web pages controls.
