drop down menu disappears behind <div>

Post by beeswax »

this site is almost finished - http://www.hotsoup.co.uk/cmstest/index. ... ege_status but I'm having trouble with the drop down menu (Faculties) disappearing behind a container lower down the page. I originally thought it may have been something to do with the z-index, but I've played with that, giving the menu_horizontal div a z-index of 99, and the div containing the picture a z-index of 1. This applies to both IE and Firefox.
thanks in advance

I've sorted this problem. The tag holding the menu had "position: relative;" as part of it's style. I removed that, and all seems fine.

um, how many style sheets do you have attached to this template? that is the longest CSS i've ever seen...
you have a lot of redundant calls, and i would suggest you use lowercase in your style sheets, i counted 8 calls for div#pagewrapper...
and the School Achievements  is showing on top of the menu, on the Faculties page, it has a position:relative call, i deleted that and it goes behind the menu dropdown :.

yes, I eventually figured out the relative call. It's a mess I know, but it's my first attempt at using CMSMS (pathetic excuse). The actual site intended to go live is sitting on a machine here in school, and that's a little bit tidier (I hope my daughter doesn't find out, she'll never clean her room).
thanks
