[Plugin: Meteor Slides] Drop Menu hidden Behind Slide

Hi, thanks for trying out Meteor Slides, it looks really sharp on your site!

The hidden dropdowns are an easy fix. You just need to set the z-index so that the dropdowns are layered above the slideshow.

In your master.css file, starting on line 138, you’ll find this code:

#nav ul {
	position: absolute;
	left: -999em;
	height: auto;
	width: 151px;
	font-weight: normal;
	line-height: 20px;
	border: 0;
	border-top: 1px solid #e3e0d5;
}

Simply set the z-index for this unordered list:

#nav ul {
	position: absolute;
	left: -999em;
	height: auto;
	width: 151px;
	font-weight: normal;
	line-height: 20px;
	border: 0;
	border-top: 1px solid #e3e0d5;
	z-index: 9999;
}

That should do the trick!

Worked beautifully! Thank you for the awesome plugin and the quick help!

how can I fix it?

Hi fchamy, add this to your theme’s stylesheet and that should fix the problem for you:

.menu ul {
z-index:9999;
}

Great! thanks…

No problem fchamy.

My menu is blocked too on some browsers. Strange…one computer is using IE and it is not blocked, but on another computer with IE – it is blocked.

All the computers at my school – menu is blocked by meteor slides.

I am using twenty ten, but I am not sure what to change.

I have a style sheet – style.css

It is alot to post here, but do you have any idea what to change in that style sheet? I can post the style sheet if you would like me to.

Thanks!

Hi, you did a great job integrating Meteor Slide into your header, looks awesome!

I did some testing, the dropdowns seem to work fine in Internet Explorer 8. in IE7, they are hidden below the slideshow. The dropdowns do not work in IE6, but I am guessing that they are CSS only, and you would need a bit of JavaScript in your theme to enable them in IE6.

I don’t have IE7 on the machine I’m in front of right now, but I can try to take a look at that for you later if you don’t figure it out.
