I built a really simple skin using html, xml, css. Everything is in div tags in the html with absolute positioning. There is no contanier files, just skin files. When I upload the skin package to my site everything works wonderfully, except for the modules. When I use my skin but the default DNN-container the module control menu stops working. I mouse over it see a quick "loading" circle and then nothing. I try clicking and nothing as well. I can change back to the default Dnn-blue skin and the same module in the same container works fine.

Any thoughts on why this would be happening?

I think everything is working but the menus may be popping "under" the modules. When absolute positioning is used layering with elements in the page takes effect. Try this: within one of the container's CSS tag for the main DIV element put z-index:0; as a property. Depending on how you designed the skin you may need to put that tag in other places as well.

I just reread your post and didn't see that you did not modify any containers. Use my advice but put the info within the div tags in the skin.

I went back and changed all my z-index values to 0 in my skin and skin.css. Still having the same issue. I tried using firebug(firefox) to pinpoint any weird css overlays and nothing seems to be standing out. You can visit www.michellesmunchies.net and login with Username test password test123 to see the skin. Note I built it more for demonstration reasons then a visually pretty design. Thus the odd color patterns and such.

Thanks

The module menus currently don't like absolute positioning.

If you scroll down you do see the menu BTW...

The only "solution" for the moment is to use the dropdown actions

<%@ Register TagPrefix="dnn" TagName="ACTIONS" Src="~/Admin/Containers/DropdownActions.ascx" %>
