Menu dropdown goes behind content

I have tried z-index to fix this

here is the css:

#suckerfishnav {
    background:#223E52  repeat-x;
    font-size:15px;
    font-family:helvetica,sans-serif;
    font-weight:normal;
    width:960px;
   
    }
#suckerfishnav, #suckerfishnav ul {
    float:center;
    list-style:none;
    padding:0;
    margin:0;
    z-index:1000;
    }
#suckerfishnav a {
    display:block;
    color:#868686;
    text-decoration:none;
    padding:0px 10px;
    }
#suckerfishnav li {
    float:left;
    padding:0;
    }
#suckerfishnav ul {
    position:absolute;
    left:-999em;
    height:auto;
    width:101px;
    font-weight:normal;
    margin:0;
    line-height:1;
    border:0;
    border-top:1px solid #666666;
    }
#suckerfishnav li li {
    width:99px;
    border-bottom:1px solid #666666;
    border-left:1px solid #666666;
    border-right:1px solid #666666;
    font-weight:bold;
    font-family:helvetica,sans-serif;
    z-index:100;
    }
#suckerfishnav li li a {
    padding:4px 10px;
    width:80px;
    font-size:14px;
    color:#868686;
    }
#suckerfishnav li ul ul {
    margin:-23px 0 0 100px;
    }
#suckerfishnav li li:hover {
    background:#223E52;
    }
#suckerfishnav li ul li:hover a, #suckerfishnav li ul li li:hover a, #suckerfishnav li ul li li li:hover a, #suckerfishnav li ul li li li:hover a {
    color:#944F85;
    }
#suckerfishnav li:hover a, #suckerfishnav li.sfhover a {
    color:#944F85;
    }
#suckerfishnav li:hover li a, #suckerfishnav li li:hover li a, #suckerfishnav li li li:hover li a, #suckerfishnav li li li li:hover li a {
    color:#868686;
    }
#suckerfishnav li:hover ul ul, #suckerfishnav li:hover ul ul ul, #suckerfishnav li:hover ul ul ul ul, #suckerfishnav li.sfhover ul ul, #suckerfishnav li.sfhover ul ul ul, #suckerfishnav li.sfhover ul ul ul ul {
    left:-999em;
    }
#suckerfishnav li:hover ul, #suckerfishnav li li:hover ul, #suckerfishnav li li li:hover ul, #suckerfishnav li li li li:hover ul, #suckerfishnav li.sfhover ul, #suckerfishnav li li.sfhover ul, #suckerfishnav li li li.sfhover ul, #suckerfishnav li li li li.sfhover ul {
    left:auto;
    background:#223E52;
    }
#suckerfishnav li:hover, #suckerfishnav li.sfhover {
    background:#223E52;
    }

and css for div menu that i put it in

#menu {
background-color: #223e52;
        background-image: url(http://heatheressianportraitarts.com/blog/nav_bg.gif) repeat;
        filter:alpha(opacity=90);-moz-opacity:.90;opacity:.90;
height:2em;     
        width: 960px;
        margin-bottom: 1px;
        margin-top: 1px;
        border-left: 1px solid #223E53;
border-right: 1px solid #223E53;
   
}

#menu ul {
width: 920px;
margin: 0 auto;
padding: 0;
left: 0;
list-style: none;
       
}

#menu ul li {
float: left;
}

#menu .page_item a {
display: block;
padding-right: 30px;
line-height: 2.0em;
color: #868686;
text-decoration: none;
}

#menu .current_page_item a, #menu .page_item a:hover {
color: #944f85;
}

I put it in the div menu because the background color went away when I didnt.

any suggestions?

Adding the z-index to a part of the css helped me with this problem.

It seems like you got it to work.  I am having the same problems on my site.  what did it for you?

I had this problem

I updated my css to include z-index:1000;

#suckerfishnav, #suckerfishnav ul {
    float:left;
    list-style:none;
    line-height:20px;
    padding:0;
    border:0px solid #aaa;
    margin:0;
    width:100%;
    z-index:1000;
    }

All ok now!

I’m hoping the new CSS generator which I’m (very slowly) working on will fix a lot of these problems automatically. I think I said I’d have it ready by January, so I’m not going to make any more promises about when it will be ready!
