Dropdown menus from navbar disappear behind gallery widget

[Fred vanderZee]

I have made a website for my drawings at www.digitalthangka.com, but I encounter a problem.
I use a navbar with a dropdown menu. When I am at a page with a javascript gallery, the menu is disappearing behind the images of the gallery.

Example:

1. Go to my website at www.digitalthangka.com
2. Click on the tab Collection
3. Hover over the tab aftfer the page has loaded: the dropdown disappears behind the image.

This problem occurs with all the gallery stuff (independant of the type of gallery - e.g. choose an item from the dropdown menu, hover over Collection. Same result.

Anyone? Thanks in advance!

Hi Fred

I've not been able to re-create the problem. I thought it may be layer position related.

Prime suspect is the JS that has been added, Maybe the carousel. It is likely that one script is conflicting with the other.

Try deleting some of the added code till it begins to behave itself again.

I can't repeat this either.
But without making any other changes to your site, try this Fred;

Select the navbar and name it overlay
In Web properties>>website>>HTML Code (head) - add this code and apply.

<style type="text/css">
#overlay {
z-index: 11111;
}
</style>

I have checked it in Firefox, IE and Chrome but the effect is always the same. Don't expect it to be a Windows 7 thing but will check later.
Anyway, I tried your code Sledger, and the style code is in the pages now, but the name code isn't. I suppose it's a div or class name for the navbar somewhere in the code? Couldn't find it in the html.

I added the name through Names... (right click on the navbar, last option). Is this the correct way?

[steve.ledger]

Yes, use the right-click 'Names..' dialogue to name the navbar and Web Properties to add the code.
Nothing should be added externally via a text editor.

Hi Fred.

When I click on the link in your post for your website, I get this:-



EDIT: OK. I get the proper website now. Surely I shouldn't have got what I did, though?!
