Default Slideshow Hides Dropdown Menu
Permalink
Hi All,
I've got a dropdown menu which is being hidden by the core Slideshow block. I know I'm not the first to have this problem, as I've encountered this thread:http://www.concrete5.org/community/forums/customizing_c5/drop_down_...
However, I've tried defining the z-index on everything I can possibly think of. Used Firebug to inspect elements, but just can't seem to find the right one to change!
Has anyone got any ideas for a fix...?

Hi Vidali,
I did try undoing my z-index edits. Then I realized, I'd started having the problem when I installed the Background Gallery add-on. Deleted the add-on, my menus work.
So, my next step will be trying to get the add-on to play nice with my menu!
*Sigh*

Well, I found the problem!
It was an issue with the Background Gallery add-on, and my theme (Respond), both having a div called #control.
The add-on had used overflow:hidden; in the #control div, which was (of course) hiding overflow in the navigation of the Respond theme, thus cutting off the dropdown. I commented out the overflow:hidden; and that's all she wrote!
Not a z-index problem at all.

That may be the problem, you don't want the z-index set on everything, just the container your navigation is in, failing that place it on the ul of your navigation, and remember to set position relative on the nav container also, or your z- index will not work.
