Drop down is going behind text...

Post by abrusky »

The problem I am having is the dropdown from the nav is going behind the text on the page. The text is in a text box how do I get the drop to go over the text?

I am not using z-index and am unfamiliar with it. I know it is used to control stacking but have been told to stay away from it. How would I add it?

Code: Select all

or alike (a higher value) to the drop down menu

You've already headed into dangerous waters by using positioning everywhere. Why is everything positioned?

Just tried to do a quick fix. the whole page used to be one big image w/ no text but it was taking forever to load, he wants the text to lineup the way it is and I just used the layout mode in GoLive to get it done fast.
