Gallery Demo and IE7 Z-Index Bug

Question

What is the workaround that corrects the problem in IE7
whereby Spry's Grow function shows enlarged images behind (not on
top) of their adjacent micro thumbs. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

I'm confused. The example for Spry gallery DOESN'T use an
anchor tag around the thumbnails... In your article and in some
posts, you say that the structure is:
<div id="thumbnails">
<div class="thumbnail">
<a href="image.jpg"><img src="image.jpg"
/></a>
</div>
</div>
However, I downloaded Spry_1_6_1_022408 and copied the
example thumbnails element & content verbatim:
<div id="thumbnails" spry:region="dsPhotos dsGalleries
dsGallery">
<div spry:repeat="dsPhotos"
onclick="HandleThumbnailClick('{ds_RowID}');"
onmouseover="GrowThumbnail(this.getElementsByTagName('img')[0],
'{@thumbwidth}', '{@thumbheight}');"
onmouseout="ShrinkThumbnail(this.getElementsByTagName('img')[0]);">
<img id="tn{ds_RowID}" alt="thumbnail for {@thumbpath}"
src="galleries/{dsGalleries::@base}{dsGallery::thumbnail/@base}{@thumbpath}"
width="24" height="24" style="left: 0px; right: 0px;" />
</div>
<p class="ClearAll"></p>
</div>
NO ANCHOR TAG. Even if you look in the generated source,
there's no link surrounding the thumbnail image.
So I guess I am unclear as to how to apply your fix? Using
the 1.6.1 version, the sample function code you show doesn't match,
nor does it seem to reflect your modifications...
Any ideas? I managed to track down your post about the bug in
IE 7 (it exists in IE6, too) [the demo link (
http://mad.sweepingdesign.com/index.html)
goes to a page that says "It works!"]
The actual article can be found here, though the demo link
shows nothing:
