Default stacking order with an iframe
I have created a drop down menu system in a layer set to z of 2. I also have an iframe on the page for the main content area set to z of 1. In IE 5.5 and above it works fine but in IE 5.0 and Opera, the drop down menus are rendering behind the iframe. Is there anyway to avoid this? The url is www.energyst.com

I have a sniffer to disable the menus for IE 5 and Opera at this time.

In earlier versions of IE iframes were windowed controls which means they are always on top (select boxes are another example). You must maniplulate the style.visibility when menu is activated/de-activated to achieve the correct drop down effect.
