I'm trying to upgrade my DNN site from 5.6.3 to 7, and I've got as far as 6.2.8.  My test site is a Win7 Pro 64 bit laptop from Lenovo.  The 6.2.8 install in test seemed to go well and everything looks great in the latest Chrome.  With one minor exception it all even seems to work.  But in FireFox 29, the dropdown menus at the page top don't display over the module at the top of the page, they display behind it, and some of the dropdowns can't be reached by mouse.  

Worse, in IE11, the dropdowns don't even appear:  clicking on a top menu link displays a horizontal list of links. They do work, but they look awful, especially as they run the page way out to the right and you have to slide the page to the side to find them.  

I'm afraid these are problems with the skin (InSkin // light purple from Cyberspacesolutionsinc.com) and I've opened a question there - but is there any configuration in DNN that might affect this?  I don't really insist on IE working, we've already had to flag our site "better used in FireFox or Chrome", but I really need it to work right in both those browsers.  Suggestions would be most welcome.

It sounds like your skin does not support later DNN versions. Check out these posts. They may point you in the right direction.

Richard,

There are at least 4 different solutions (maybe more, the 10 page thread is very confusing, especially as people are not always specific about which CSS file they are updating). 

None of the suggestions I was able to identify clearly and implement have made the menus in Firefox behave correctly.  The most recent suggestion is from April 2013, most of the thread came from 2011-2012, and I have an awful feeling that the files involved have changed since then.  (For instance one guy said, "The problem we've found with every install of DNN 6 and menu issues is line 231 in the default.css. Take all the content out of .DnnModule and upload. Should read .DnnModule {} after editing."  So I looked in that file, and line 231 in DNN 6.2.8 doesn't contain the .DnnModule statement at all.

Can someone please tell me how to fix this with the 6.2.8 version of DNN?  I can't put it in production if it doesn't work in FireFox.  There's a lot of discussion of z-indexes; there are z-index statements all over the default.css for 6.2.8, and I have no idea what they do, not being a skin expert.  I've checked the CSS files for my skin and none of them has any z-index statements at all.

Should I just find the .DnnModule statement and remove everything from the braces?  (It's on line 258.)  The poster in 2013 (see p.10) suggested removing only the "zoom:1;" statement from that line, which I tried.  It didn't work.  "Didn't work" means that I changed the file on my site, restarted the application on the Host Settings panel, and reloaded the page in FireFox, with no change in the menu behavior.

My apologies.  After I posted the last entry, I realized that I'd never actually tried the solution of removing all the code between the braces in the .DnnModule{} statement (which is now on line 258 of default.css).  I tried that and it worked. The test site is now functional in FireFox.  I should also put this statement in the site Stylesheet so as to survive the next upgrade.

I'm so pleased it's working for you. I didn't have any better ideas.

I don't know those files - hence the "...may point you in the right direction..." comment.
