Help figure out why my Flash is covering the drop down top menu links?

Hi My flash inside the central block is covering the drop down top menu and I need help figuring out how to put the drop down menu in front of the flash. I am attaching a photo to show you. Can someone please assist me with fixing this problem. Full details would be greatly appreciated as I am a newbbie with codes and css.

Almond,



Have you tried changing you z-index for the dropdown css? If you can provide a link I’m sure that we can figure it out.

Hi Brandon~ I am not css savy nor do I know coding. I know flash /html only. moved the catergory links lower because the fly out menu was behind the flash just like the top menu.



thank you for responding,

Almond,



No problem, I totally understand.



On line 15 of skins/your-skin/customer/dropdown.css you have the z-index set to 1, just change it to something like 1000 and you should be all set.



Basically change:


ul.dropdown {
position:relative;
z-index:1;
}




To:


ul.dropdown {
position:relative;
z-index:1000;
}




Hope that helps,



Brandon

Almond,



One quick thing. Is your site still under development or are you “live”? The reason I ask is that your top menu has no background and it is really hard to read the words.



Just thought you might like to know.

Hi I tried the code and it didn’t work.

What browser are you using? My Top menu has a background color in IE. Also, if you see the attached picture in the earlier response you can see there is a background color in the snapshot.





Thank You

Almond

Your header image is not lined up correctly in Firefox 3.6.12 for me. See the attached image.



Edit: removed screenshot at the request of almondjoy

Hi almondjjoy,



I think Brandon is refering to the menu right above the search box. It is very hard to notice unless you put the mouse over it. I’ve attached a pic with the area highlighted. I’m using IE8.

Wow!!! THANK YOU. Weird because I thought I was/am using IE8 but I guess not. Because it doesn’t look like that at all on my screen.



I’m seriously confused now. need coffee

Stupid browser difference. It’s definitely an annoying part of designing.



As for the code I gave you, I guess I didn’t read your first post right the first time, sorry.



Your top dropdown works perfect for me in FF 3.6.12, but in IE8 I can see what you problem is.



It’s hard to tell exactly what to fix because it is in two different browsers, but I’d try adding z-index:1000; to:


#top_menu ul.dropdown-vertical-rtl on line 77 of dropdown.css



This is kind of a guess though.



Brandon

Thank you for your help. Its has been fixed! thank you Brandon for your help!

I appreciate you fixing the problems.

I have similar problem with sideblock vertical category menu - the expanded subcategories goes behind the central content?

Which style in dropdown.css to edit to fix it - I tried to guess it but still no success?
