Why Does My Context Menu Appear Beneath the Button in IE7?

IE7 Z-Index Issue with Context Menu

When using a context menu in IE7, the menu (a

element) appears beneath its associated button instead of above it. This stacking error can be attributed to the way IE7 determines stacking contexts.

In most modern browsers, the stacking context is determined by the nearest positioned ancestor. However, IE7 uses the nearest parent element with a position value to establish the stacking context.

To resolve this issue, try placing the button after the

element in the HTML. This forces IE7 to use the
element as the stacking context, which allows the z-index property to take effect and position the context menu correctly.

Here is the corrected HTML:

<div class="control-action">
    <ul>

By modifying the HTML structure, you can ensure that the context menu displays correctly in IE7 without altering the CSS styles.
