Menu dropping behind content

[Dre]

Hi

I’ve been fiddling with this problem for a few days now and it’s getting kinda of frustrating. The menu i’ve been using is dropping behind the content. I’ve been searching the forum and found solutions regarding the z-index which I’ve been using. This only worked for FireFox. For instance the [b:1sna3fjl]Link [/b:1sna3fjl] drop menu is workin OK for FF but not for IE (6,7 and 8 ). The menu is dropping behind the info block on the page. The site can be found here[/url:1sna3fjl].

I’ve added a [font=courier:1sna3fjl]z-index: 1000[/font:1sna3fjl] to [font=courier:1sna3fjl]#suckerfishnav, #suckerfishnav ul[/font:1sna3fjl]  and that worked for FF. So what could be the problem?

I’m using the Subtle theme[/url:1sna3fjl] for WordPress.

#suckerfishnav li:hover, #suckerfishnav li.sfhover {

    }

I’ve added a [font=courier:1sna3fjl]display:block;[/font:1sna3fjl] at [font=courier:1sna3fjl]suckerfishnav li li a[/font:1sna3fjl] and a [font=courier:1sna3fjl]width:auto;[/font:1sna3fjl]

Any help would be appreciated.. ” title=”Smiley” /> Thanks!

It may not be your menu that is at fault.  I ran into this today also.  What I found was that all of the content items that my menu opened "behind" had the style  "position: relative;"

when I removed that line from the styles – the problem was fixed.  Hope this helps.

I took a look at your page and the #content div does have a position: relative; style.  removing it didn’t break the page in firefox but I couldn’t check IE.  Try taking that out and see if it solves your problem.
