css meni behinf

http://ayearofkindness.com/365/publications.html

Notice the drop down - on the PUBLICATIONS tap, it falls behind the images, throughout the site - If I send the image back nothing seems to happen and I cant move the menu forward as the options are now greyed out? How can I get the menu to sit on top on the images?

Cheers!

One way to do this is to select your Menu container on the Master page (item1)

Item>Extended Click New and put in the name: z-index value: 99

OK out of the dialogues and test.

What this does is manually assign a high z-index (layer positioning tag) that should ensure that the menu sits on top of everything else on your pages.

Is the menu unlocked? It happened to me before and I couldn’t move because it was locked.

Have a look in your Styles palette for any style that has the tag name
h6. I believe you’ll find one that has the font set to Trebuchet 12px
and is a sort of umber color. Control-click on that style name, and
choose Edit Style from the submenu. Click once on the Extended button,
and then the New button. In the resulting popup, add the following
name/value pair (only enter the word after the colon in each bullet
item below, the rest is just there to show you where to place each):

  • Name: margin
  • Value: 0

(that’s the numeral zero, not a capital o.)

Okay out of the stack of dialogs, and preview or publish.

This will close up the gap considerably, but not all the way. If you
want to take it further, there’s a CSS3 tag you can add. Luddites
still using IE will not see this added benefit, but then they’re used
to seeing some mighty funny things on the Web already, so they won’t
actually notice.

Back in your Styles palette, click on the gear icon in the top-right,
and choose New Style. In the tag field, enter the following:

h6 + p

Tab over to the Name field, and delete whatever helpful name Freeway
has entered for you. And then make sure to tab back out of that Name
field so Freeway gets the idea that you really do mean to make it blank.

Click the Extended button, and New, and enter the following:

  • Name: margin-top
  • Value: 3px

Okay out of the stack of dialogs and preview. Note that you don’t ever
need to apply this style to anything. It will just work courtesy of
the CSS Cascade. Fiddle with this pixel value until you like the
spacing. Also realize that the effect of this rule will probably not
be visible within the design view in Freeway, only in the preview or
in a browser (where by browser, I mean Standards-compliant Browser).

Is the menu a table item (Layer checkbox un-checked in the Inspector)?

Then it’s an inline object. Not sure how much you can do to elevate
it, because it will be constrained by the z-index of its parent. You
can only elevate it with respect to the other inline elements in the
same parent container. If that parent is behind the other elements
you’re trying to get your menu out in front of, then you’re stuck.

If you cut that menu to the clipboard, click on the pasteboard
somewhere, and then paste, you should be able to move it into the same
relative (visual) position to the rest of your page, and then you’ll
be free to float it wayyyyy above everything else.
