Question

I have this website: http://dev.gratefulhearttherapy.org/
with a dropdown menu, it’s supposed to unfold when you hover a category like “Our Services” or “Abous Us”. But it doesn’t.

I know it’s a CSS issue because I use 2 different stylesheets, and one works while the other doesn’t. However I’ve spent two hours on it and I don’t find what’s wrong.

I tried to play with z-index but it doesn’t work. I took over someone else’s work and CSS file is messy, and the website calls several stylesheets. In any case, the stylesheet I’m working with is here: http://dev.gratefulhearttherapy.org/index.php/tools/css/themes/gratefulheart/typography-new2.css

The relevant part of the CSS begins line 287, the “Mega Menu” section. Here it is:

Can anyone give me a tip at what might be the issue?

Answer 1

It’s because your #headerNav is set to overflow:hidden. Just remove this line of css:

#headerNav {
    …
    overflow: hidden;
    …    
}
