Just installed DMX5 on our dev server no errors reported and all seems to be fine but all of the drop down menus are transparent is I can see your menu option and anything on the page behind it so it is very difficult to see what you are selecting. It also happens in the module settings options for DMX the drop down options are all transparent backgrounds. Is this a CSS issue.

Please help its making me dizzy....

I have tried Explorer 7, Firefox 3 and Safari and transparancy is present in all 3 browsers

So when you are in the module you have 4 menus at the top

FOLDER Tools Admin Help

if you select any of this drop down menus the menu apears but the background is transparent so it makes it hard to read text.

Does any one have any ideas.

Hi Marcus,

Must be a clash of css classes. Check the css classes of your skin against the css classes defined in module.css and ViewCollection.css. That will give you more info on this.

Looking at the CSS using firefox inspector I noticed the following entry in the header

<link id="_DesktopModules_Bring2mind_DMX" href="/DesktopModules/Bring2mind\DMX/module.css" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet">

in the href tag it has \DMX/  should it not be /DMX/ would this be causing the problem ie it is not loading the DMX module.css

CSS is exactly what the problem is not sure where it is at the moment but I have just setup a default DNN installation and out the DMX module in and it works fine, so the problem is at my end which is what I thought, so time to spend the weekend css coding I guess. Thanks four help, its a great product keep up the good work.

Hi Marcus,

Good luck. Css can be tough to work out properly. I advise using the IE Developer toolbar.

About the / and \: it is not pretty but it should not make a difference. I've not seen it make a difference anyway. When I find them I try to clear them out ...
