I want to use the lightbox on a page with a lot of stuff on it (yes, the page needs some work).

Anyway, the lightbox appears behind some elements, and appears above my page header, moving the header to the bottom of the page. Just checked - only happens in explorer.

Thanks

Hello Rick,

In which Explorer version this happens?
Because tested on IE 7 and 8 it look fine to me.

Here's a screen grab....

You can see all the text and other elements on top of the lightbox. I've tried changing the z-index to 1 on all the elements - did not matter.

Hello Rick,

Your page is lacking a <!DOCUTYPE!> tag before the starting <html> tag. That way the browser uses Quirks mode where xmlns is not rendered properly. You need to set following :
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
on line 1 of your page.
By default Dreamweaver places that line in each document that it creates. Removing it causes your issue.

Thanks - I'll try that.

If only the person over at your billing department had the same level of commitment to customer service.

Hello Rick,

It was me actually. I'm sorry but that would be every seller policy.

I can list the companies that have a fair policy or crediting / refunding the difference. A week is a week. I have never dealt with a company that lowered the price 30% hours after an order was placed and refused to credit back the difference. This has happened to me with Amazon (and they have refunded me up to $300 for a price drop), Webassist (another plugin company - refunded $36,) and many other companies. You'll find that 99.9% of businesses have this policy to keep customers happy.

It's also my policy - If I drop a price, I credit back the difference going back one week. If you look, you'll see that this is the policy of pretty much all online sellers and every major retailer.

You could have handled this a lot better. For a simple $30 refund or credit, you'd have a customer raving about your customer service. Instead you have a customer that feels screwed-over and will never buy another product again, nor recommend them.

Through my company, I, my business partner, or my office have purchased 5 of your Dreamweaver plugins.

Recommendations counted for a lot more. We were looking at a few more of them. But not now. Yes, your products are nice, but other companies have the same thing - without the draconian refund policies. And they answer their email. I believe I have now sent 7 messages without a single one being answered. That's the only reason I brought it up here.

Oh, and your "Live support" has been "offline" for months.

Hello Rick,

I'm sorry can't do much for refunding, I'll notify my boss but that's all I can do for you.

Regards,
