Why is my floating pane under my map and not on top of  it?

I have a map that accepts an incoming parameter and based on the value, loads a particular data layer, sets the title etc.  I need to handle the possibility of no incoming argument, presenting the user with a pick list comparable to the values of the incoming parameter.

I will always have a county boundary layer, so I have a load event on the county layer, which checks to see if there is a parameter on the URL.  It will either load additional data or open the floating pane of category choices if there is no parameter provided.

My problem is that the floating pane loads first, and ends up under my map instead of on top of it.  I've tried setting the z-index to 999 for my floating pane, but that didn't help.  I feel like I'm missing something obvious, but I haven't spotted it yet.

Tracy,

Did you try and add the following to your css:

position: absolute;


Let me know if that works.

No, it didn't help.  It sounded good though.

Tracy,

I don't think the panel is getting parsed/styled correctly because it is hidden when you display the application. I used a simplified version of your code to test and if you set the visiblity to visible then hide it after the app loads it works. Here's an example.
