Just started looking at this.  Here is what I am observing.  When I go to a standard install of dnn in IE 6 without being logged in everything is fine.  When I log in, the top half of the page nothing works, including hovering over hyperlinks (showing pointer/highlighting).  Towards the bottom of the page, things work.  Anoter odd thing is that if I right-click on the top of the page I don't get a view source.  Choosing properties here shows that what is actually selected is a spacer.gif file.  Odd.   Finally, if I open up the Portals/_default/default.css file and remove the z-index: 1000; line from the ModuleTitle_SubMenu class entry all seems to work.

Is this the same behavior others are seeing???

Jon, I can confirm that removing that line in default.css does in fact correct this issue for me in IE6 when logged in.  I'll watch the bug reports you've linked for progress.  Thanks for the interim suggestion!

Grrrr, I tried all combinations to reproduce the problem, but I have not seen the problem once.

I'm glad Jon Henning did reproduce it so it can be fixed, but I don't understand why I cannot...

Further investigation shows that the spacer comes from the iframe trick needed in IE6 to guarantee that the menu displays over "windowed controls" (dropdowns, flash, etc.)  So the menu will render an IFrame for IE6 only which explains the behavior. 

While the workaround I offer can help a lot of cases, it may not be sufficient to all.  The bug was introduced by the fixing of another bug with did not allow the menu to display over a windowed control the first time, but everytime after.  The fix causes the iframe to display early for IE6.  The problem is that it did not hide itself.  If you wish to track this bug you can by referring to this entry and this one.

Hi Jon,

Thanks for posting the info on the fix, I was able to test these out tonight on my portal and they seem to fix the issue. Granted I wasted about an 30 minutes applying the changes to the wrong DNN5 test folder, scratching my head trying to figure out where it was still getting the old values from

Anyways, Thanks again for all the hard work. Hopefully 5.0.1 will get posted soon, I'm really loving all the changes/improvements. Keep up the great work guys!
