They seem to be valid CSS as far as w3c is concerned and I haven't yet dug into it to see exactly what values hose things up. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. try to view the page 2. I see nothing below the main navigation (ie, except stuff that isn't styled with the offending CSS style) 3. Expected Results: I guess I'd like to see the content, but if there's something wrong with that CSS code, I'd like to know.

This just in from the web designer who set up the stylesheet: > The problem is with the z-index spec on the main body. The components of > the page were not rendering in the correct order on the mac so that the > background of the drop-down menus on the Mac would go transparent. Setting > the z-index to -1 corrected that problem, but apparently, in Mozilla, winds > up rendering the main body content behind everything else. see > http://www.law.washington.edu/staff/kkeithly/redesign/mozilla/template.html > for a sample template page pointing to a stylesheet with z-index =0. I assume the Mac browser used was IE. I don't know what version but it was on OS 9 so it would be 4.x.

Probably a duplicate of bug 78087, but I'd need to see a proper testcase to be sure. Please attach one if you can.
