Master Pages - Content Panel at Top Z

[Marcus Smaby]

I am trying to build a simple site using a master page containing a header
graphic and a vertical side menu. I use the MS ASP Menu control. There is a
single contents panel. The menu is multiple level and expands to the right.
To the right of the menu is the contents control.

The problem is when I build a web page based on this master and preview it
in a browser the menu expands in a sub-menu out to the right but is partly
under the contents in the contents panel and partly unreadable. I expected
the sub-menu choices to be above any content. I have played with the Z order
in both the master page and the web page with no luck.

How do I fix this?

TIA

Marcus

Is this of any help?


masterpage.master (within Form tag):

<table width="100%" border="0">

And it seems everything works fine. Post your code in case you still
having issues.
