    Default Flyout submenus appear below page elements HTML5

    This has been discussed elsewhere but not using NOF13 and HTML5.
    I've uploaded the bad page to http://www.solarlightcap.com/test/index.html
    You will see the submenus appear below other elements - an image or a layout region containing wowslider
    It was okay using NOF13 before I changed to HTML5. I've fiddled with the z-index value of various elements without success.
    A real mystery I hope someone can solve.

    As a small aside using http://validator.w3.org/, it observes that my charset is generated wrong even though I changed it to UTF-8 as one should for HTML5
    It says Warning Line 5, Column 27: Using windows-1252 instead of the declared encoding iso-8859-1.
    <meta charset="ISO-8859-1">

    So you can see from the link above and the usual home page at www.solarlightcap.com/index.html that under html5 the drop down menus appear behind other page elements, and under html4.01 they are okay.
    Has anyone got any ideas how to solve this before I contact NOF direct?

    I'd have thought it was a z-index thing also. A couple of other things to try. Switch publishing method to HTML 5 Dynamic (equivalent to the old 4.01 with tables). Second try enabling "Use quirks mode doctype" in HTML Options. If it's already enable, try disabling it.

    Okay thanks franko - using Dynamic solves the menu problem, but the page is no longer centered. Trying quirks mode next

    I tried using the keyword <center> at the start of BODY, which centered only the content of the page, not the master border. looking at the source indicates the nof-positioning class is getting messed up.
    This problem does not exist on any other pages, so it is really starting to frustrate me - home page being the most important !

    Remove the page specific center and try wrapping things with a <div>

    And you can choose the character set in Site Options. Select Unicode UTF-8

    @gotFusion - yes I tried that. It only centers the body contents and not the masterborder. You can see the result now http://www.solarlightcap.com/test/index.html
    @franko - thanks but the weird thing is I have set UTF-8 - you can see in the screen snap above, but the code gets generated with "ISO-8859-1". Other pages in my website do not have this problem - just the home page.

    You have 2 (two) center divs on that page

    <div class="nof-centerContent"><div align="center">

    If you want to use the center div you need to use html 4.x doctype not html 5 as align=center is no longer supported in html 5
