css menu

This is my first website construction using the inline method. All works quite well except for the css menu which is a separate layer and not inline. If I make it inline it appears at the back layer when the menu is pulled down - The Welcome text and image appears on top of the menu. What have I done wrong here? At the moment is sort of look s ok as it is a layered item.

There are a few sub-elements, mostly the lower left sidw, which have a
fixed height setting. They should be set to flexible height.

The menu should be inline, but the parent box given a much higher z-index
setting via item > extended.

Best of luck,

thanks urn

sadly, doesn’t appear to work for me

http://www.stokefilmtheatre.org.uk/stokeontrentfilm.html

just changed this page - rest as before

via item > extended gave the div style of the div holding the css menu - name: z-index, value: 99 and no change

also made the sub elements flexible height and now I have a white portion below the black ‘stoke on trent…’ box

need a bit more luck!

In this instance, the parent div which holds the navigation must be raised
by the z-index property. #header-holder is the parent item in this case,
apply z-index:99 there.

Also, #navbox has an inline style (maybe via extended?) that conflicts with
the normal styling. Also also, I would set the file to use external CSS
styles - simpler for everyone nowadays.

Best, always.

Many thanks Ern, you are a gentleman

Sorted the z-index doodah but you threw a curve ball with the external style sheets thing - is this thru document output settings or with action external style sheets? And how would that solve the space that appears between the header elements when made flexible height.

grateful, as always

External stylesheets are set usually in the Document Setup, but I think
there is a panel in the inspector now as well.

I’m not sure about a space, but you may have to apply the Clearfix action
on the div which holds the menu. I think this is browser-related, not a
Freeway issue.

Best
