Dropdowns

Currently the dropdowns in (at least) the 3.5 char sheets aren't displaying properly for anything using an ability score.
overlaps happen. yep. just reporting it.

Overlaps meaning the dropdown gets hidden behind stuff? What browser/OS?

yes, windows 7 and it's chrome.

I had this issue as well with the EoE sheets.

Also on Chrome Kenny?

Win7, Chrome

I know the general issue, I'm not really sure of the best way to solve it... I'll have to keep working at it, I'll put up solutions, and hopefully one of them takes.

Its very easy to reproduce this bug (as shown by szemely) on Windows 7 using either Chrome or Firefox, so I suspect this is a basic CSS problem.

1. Go to the Characters section
2. Select the System Dropdown.
- the type drop down is always above the System Drop.

It looks as if there is some sort of funny business with the z-index (obviously), but Im afraid I can't tell you anymore than that at the moment.

It is a z-index issue, but its one I can't replicate in FF on Win 7 or 8, but I can see in Chrome. My fix for Chrome seems to have broken it in FF. So now I'm trying to figure out how to fix it in both :(

A little more testing for you:

I was able to get exactly the same bad behavior (see szemely's screenshot) in:

Chrome 40.0.2214.111 (latest)
Firefox 33.1 (slightly out of date)
Firefox 35.0.1 (latest after update)
Opera 27.0.1689.66

Exactly the same issue with the Type Drop down in front of the System Dropdown, in all browsers on Win7 (64)

Damnit... Ok, I'll double down on the fix. Thanks for the through test. Tells me its likely something up with my browser; I'll use my desktop to test.

Its possible we are seeing different results due to cached versions of the style sheets or javascript source, I often put version numbers at the top of mine, when so I can tell if something is going wrong.

Web browsers and caching have caused me more trouble with trying to fix problems than I care to remember.

I hate those. You have to make certain every relative or absolutely positioned layer has a z-index, or the browser is "helpful" and computes one for you. Good luck finding it!

Heh, yah, I appreciate the advice. I'm digging into it :)
