CSS drop-down menu hides behind content

Hi,

I am having a problem similar to some other people with this, but I’ve done hours of research and nothing I’ve found has worked! Hopefully someone here will have some insight…

My drop-down CSS menu hides behind the other content on the page - it’s just text - no videos or pictures or anything like that.

The site isn’t live yet, so I can’t post a link, but I did run an example on a suggestion from someone else - the menu looks/works fine here, but there’s no content on the page to interfere… Here is the example link: http://jsfiddle.net/R3KcV/embedded/result/

Here is the code:

HTML Code:

<div id='cssmenu'>
<ul>
   <li class='has-sub'><a href='home.html'><span>Home</span></a>
  <ul>
         <li><a href='resources.html'><span>Resources</span></a></li>
    <li><a href='products.html'><span>Products</span></a></li>
    <li class='last'><a href='contact.html'><span>Contact Us</span></a></li>
      </ul>
  </li>
   <li class='has-sub'><a href='health-wellness.html'><span>Health & Wellness</span></a>
      <ul>
         <li><a href='cooking-from-scratch.html'><span>Cooking From Scratch</span></a></li>
         <li><a href='sustainable-gardening.html'><span>Sustainable Gardening</span></a></li>
         <li><a href='csa.html'><span>Community Supported Agriculture</span></a></li>
         <li><a href='fun-ways-to-exercise.html'><span>Fun Ways to Exercise</span></a></li>
         <li><a href='pain-relief.html'><span>Natural Relief for Chronic Pain</span></a></li>
         <li class='last'><a href='toxic-load.html'><span>Reducing Your Toxic Load</span></a></li>
      </ul>
   </li>
   <li><a href='relationships.html'><span>Relationships</span></a></li>
   <li><a href='wealth.html'><span>Wealth</span></a></li>
   <li class='last'><a href='spirituality.html'><span>Spirituality</span></a></li>
</ul>
</div>

And here is the CSS:

#cssmenu:before, 
#cssmenu:after, 
#cssmenu > ul:before, 
#cssmenu > ul:after {

	content: '';
	display: table;
	
}


#cssmenu:after, #cssmenu > ul:after {

	clear: both;
	
}
#cssmenu
{
	zoom: 1;
}

#cssmenu > ul
{
	background: #00305f;
	margin: 0;
	padding: 0;
	position: relative;
}

#cssmenu > ul li
{
	margin: 0;
	padding: 0;
	list-style: none;
  
}

#cssmenu > ul > li
{
	float: left;
	position: relative;
}

#cssmenu > ul > li > a
{
	padding: 20px 25px;
	display: block;
	color: white;
	font-family: Georgia, Times, Serif;
	font-size: 20px;
	text-transform: capitalize;
	text-decoration: none;
	text-shadow: 0 -1px 0 rgba(151, 99, 33, .43);
	line-height: 18px;
}

#cssmenu > ul > li:hover > a
{
	background: #5783af;

}

#cssmenu > ul > li > a > span
{
	line-height: 18px;
}

#cssmenu > ul > li.active > a
{
	background: #5783af;
}

#cssmenu > ul > li > a:active
{
	background: #5783af;
}

#cssmenu > ul ul
{
	opacity: 0;
	visibility: hidden;
	position: absolute;
	top: 120px;
	background: #00305f;
	margin: 0;
	padding: 0;
	z-index: 2000;
	-webkit-transition: all .35s .2s ease-in-out;
	-moz-transition: all .35s .2s ease-in-out;
	-ms-transition: all .35s .2s ease-in-out;
	transition: all .35s .2s ease-in-out;
}

#cssmenu > ul li:hover ul
{
	opacity: 1;
	visibility: visible;
	margin: 0;
	color: #5783af;
	z-index: 2000;
	top: 64px;
	left: 0;
}

#cssmenu > ul ul:before
{
	content: '';
	position: absolute;
	top: -10px;
	width: 100%;
	height: 16px;
	background: transparent;
}

#cssmenu > ul ul li
{
	list-style: none;
	padding: 0;
	margin: 0;
	width: 100%;
}

#cssmenu > ul ul li a
{
	padding: 12px 20px;
	display: block;
	color: white;
	font-family: Georgia, Times, Serif;
	font-size: 16px;
	text-transform: capitalize;
	text-decoration: none;
	width: 175px;
	border-left: 4px solid transparent;
	-webkit-transition: all .35s ease-in-out;
	-moz-transition: all .35s ease-in-out;
	-ms-transition: all .35s ease-in-out;
	transition: all .35s ease-in-out;
	text-shadow: 0 -1px 0 rgba(151, 99, 33, .43);
}

#cssmenu > ul ul li a:hover
{
	border-left: 4px solid #055988;
	background: #5783af;
}

#cssmenu > ul ul li a:active
{
	background: #5783af;
}

Thanks in advance for any helpful suggestions! Oh, and by the way, I’m using Firefox.

Hi myssflame. Welcome to the forums. :slight_smile:

Your example doesn’t demonstrate the problem, which makes it harder to suggest what to do. Anyhow, one thing you could try is adding position: relative here:

#cssmenu {
zoom: 1;
z-index: 9999 !important;
[COLOR="#FF0000"]position: relative;[/COLOR]
}

If that doesn’t work, add pos:rel and x-index to whatever is the outermost container of the menu.
