Vertical flyout menu disappearing!

[naturalp]

I tried to create a vertical flyout menu using this thread https://forum.WebsiteBaker.org/index.php?topic=8622.msg51248#msg51248  but for some reason my menu disappears behind my images - this is the page - http://merrylegsfalabellas.com/pages/sunny.php  if you click on 'Sunny' you will see it in action..

I have no idea how to fix this - has anyone else had the same problem? - suggestions? .....

Hi,

try to give your #sidenav a z-index eg

Code: [Select]

#sidenav { z-index:99; }

Regards Bernd

Sorry but I don't understand what you're asking for.. - this is what I put in the Index.php file
<div id="sidenav">
<?php show_menu2(0, SM2_ROOT, SM2_ALL, SM2_ALL, false, "\n</li>", false, false, false, '<ul id="sidenavList" class="adxm">'); ?>
</div>

If you could be less specific?   ..

Thanks..

Hi,

just add the above line to you screen.css

Hi,

wouldn't it be better, to give "#sidenav ul li" the "z-index:99;"?

Best regards

+Hi thanks for trying to help but I haven't a clue what either of you are suggesting I do.  If you could explain a bit more what I should do and where I shoudl put it that would be great.  I'm not a developer and am trying my best but my age seems to be letting me down somewhat...... less brain cells!

Thanks

Thank you but it didn't seem to do anything...  any other suggestions?

Hi Sharon,

did you try Benrnds suggestion, or did you try my suggestion, which was to edit your screen.css here:

Code: [Select]

#sidenav ul li { position: relative; z-index:99;}?

I've tried both, yours just now and neither seem to make any difference. It's so anoying and I just haven't a clue... If you can think of anything else then Please let me know.

Thanks again -***update..... I could attach a zip of the template if anyone wants to take a look? .

Hi,

curios. I tried it in firebug and it worked. Did you clear your browsercache an reload the page with the edited css?

But feel free to attach your template and someone will get a solution here.

Yes I've cleared the cache etc. just can't work it out.  I use IE7.. I have attached the necesary files in a zip.. hope its ok..

Ok,
in FF3 now it works as it should, so is the remaining question "what's the f*** is necessary to get it also workin' in IE7"

Regards Bernd

and I thought this was going to be just one of those silly little things.....if anyone knows please speak up! - maybe I could then get on with something useful.. like potatoe planting...

I've decided that I cannot mess around with this anymore - if someone can get it to work then I would love it but I htink I will just plump for a horizontal drop down menu.. that is simpler!
