Hello everyone, this site is now working pretty much as expected apart from one little glitch on the homepage.
The menu heading ‘SECTORS’ has a dropdown submenu which works on all other pages except this one - can anyone shed some light please?
Thanks

It does - but it is hidden behind the WOW slider.
You will need to do some z-index mods to bring it in front.

Hi David, thanks for the reply.
Just tried: ‘z-index’ ’99’ and no joy I’m afraid. No z-indexes on the other pages, and they were all originally based on one master, so the WOW slider box has just been replaced with pictures on the others, yet it’s fine on those.

Try a different parent - it does work.
The other thing you can try is a different stacking order in the FW side panel that shows items. Compare this page with one of your others.
As a last resort:
```auto
```
In Page Html Markup in the before section.

Thanks for the reply David. Just onto something else at the moment, I’ll be back to the web later.

Well David, I did everything you said, tried bringing various parent forward or backwards. The pages are all the same stacking order, but still the problem persisted. I probably spent 2 hrs just doing this and checking bits and bobs over with other pages. All very frustrating
I do realise that it was probably user error - but still bl\*\*dy annoying not knowing why it wouldn’t work.
However, your last resort worked perfectly!! All’s well, if frustrated.
Many thanks.
