Question

Hey guys, ive been working on this drop down for wayyy to long now. I just cant get the drop down to fall on top of the main content on the page. I have tried adding position: relative and z-index on all relevant areas.

I think what may be causing the problem is “overflow: hidden” in some places.. but that is by far my favorite way to contain floats..

Any suggestions?

Remove position: relative and overflow: hidden from both header and maincontent. If you need to clear the floats, use the clearfix method: http://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/html-css-techniques/css-fudamentals-containing-children/ (this article specifically explains why clearfix is a better solution than overflow: hidden when you have absolutely positioned elements that need to extend outside the container).
