I have a drop down menu which is appearing behind my image transition gallery div. Below is the image of what it looks like and the HTML and CSS for it.
HTML:
<body>
<div id="top_bar">
<div id="top_inner">
<div id="logo"> <a href="http://www.edosbornephotography.com"><img src="images/logo.gif" alt="Ed Osborne" width="225" height="115" class="logo"></a></div>
<div class="nav">
<ul class = "menu" >
<li> <a href = "#" > Home </a> </li>
<li><a href = "#" > Packages </a>
<li><a href = "#" > Weddings </a>
<li><a href = "#" id="left" > Lifestyle </a>
<ul class = "submenu" >
<li> <a href = "#" > Families </a> </li>
<li> <a href = "#"> Newborn/Child </a> </li>
<li> <a href = "#" > Portraits </a> </li>
</ul>
</li>
<li> <a href = "#" > Blog </a> </li>
<li><a href = "#" id="left"> Abous Us </a>
<ul class = "submenu" >
<li> <a href = "#" > Ed Osborne </a> </li>
<li> <a href = "#" > Testimonials </a> </li>
<li> <a href = "#" > FAQs </a> </li>
</ul>
</li>
<li> <a href = "#" > Contact Us </a> </li>
<li> <a href = "#" > Links </a> </li>
</ul>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<div id="main">
<div id="smart-gallery">

}
html ul.menu li ul.submenu li a {

}
When I remove position:absolute from .min-gallery .preview img, the drop down menu appears on top which is how I want it but the images do stop changing and just stick on one image.
Anyone got a quick fix? Sorry about the pasting of all the code but I dont know how else I can express my point to you guys
Thanks
set the higher z-index of drop down menu .
reason “An element with greater stack order is always in front of an element with a lower stack order.”
