Hi Charlie,

I'm sorry but you are going to have to go to the support area and ask this at Milonic directly. I don't think anyone here has the knowledge about thickbox and stuff, at least I don't. If you have a professional license or above use this link, log in under the name used to purchase/register the menu and open a support ticket. They are pretty quick in responding.

If you don't have a professional license try this link http://www.milonic.com/contactus.php

Just post what is supposed to happen based on the thickbox and ask if this works or not with milonic, and/or how to make it work.

I'm going to respond to this and explain how to get Thickbox to work with Milonic DHTML Menus, there have been quite a few people asking for this. This method also works with Lightbox and Lytebox etc.

Basically, these scripts add a veil or a type of curtain to your webpage and then display their window with the images inside them on top of this veil. The veil has a transparency so that your site can be seen through it but the focus is on the image inside the window, it's quite a nice effect. It's very much like how certain dialog boxes work in Windows Vista.

Anyway, the problem you have is that, by default, the menu's ZIndex has been set higher than the veil and will show on top of it. In oder to get the menu to display behind the veil, you need to change the menus default ZIndex property. This is set to 1000 by default.

I believe that JQuery Thickbox and Lightbox zindexes are around 100, so you should try changing the menus zindex to something like 90. This is done with the menu property zindex, heres how it should look:



I Hope this helps explain to everybody searching for an answer to this problem
