I've made the alterations to my code (I think) that allows a floating left aligned menu. I've also allowed for appropriate header height which enable the menu to align all the way to the left under the logo. However, in Firefox(works fine in IE), the dropdown menu doesn't drop OVER the content, it shoves everything off the page to the right. The site i'm working on is here. http://www.iwasborntowin.com/drupal

If you hover over the "About Us" menu bar you will see it.

Thanks,

James

I'm wondering what I need to do in order to get a reply?

Thank you

Be patient for one.

You don't need to float the menu left, its left aligned by default, thats likely causing some of the problem. Why dont you just replace all the superfish css (some in styles.css the rest in superfish.css) with the original code - set the logo to height: 88px and you should be sweet.

I agree with step one -patience. What do you suggest for step two after being patient for a week? lol
Seriously, i'm new here and don't know if an hour, a day, or a month is being patient. I wasn't complaining, simply trying to learn the process.

I did as you suggested and it worked, thank you very much.

Now the drop down(about us) is dropping under the video(in both Firefox and IE) on the main page www.iwasborntowin.com/drupal

Do you know how to fix this?

Also, In IE the "about us" drop down also forces "contact us" to the right. I expect if I add much more content it will force it off the page.

Thank you

P.S. I realize this has nothing to do with this issue - Do you get paid (monetarily) for your work (These modules, etc?) Sponsors or donations? Just curious.

For the menu going behind the video - please try this:

#superfish-inner .menu,
#superfish-inner .menu ul,
#superfish-inner .menu ul ul,
#superfish-inner .menu li {z-index: 10;}

In general you will need to set z-index on various elements until it works, please let me know your solution.

We don't get paid, generally. Companies or individuals often sponsor the development of modules, but most are done in the name of "passion".

A week - yea, fair enough, but many of us project maintainers are pretty busy people. Your issue is kind-a one of those hair pullers, where you really have to dig around to find the issue, we don't always have time for that.

I'm not certain if I'm doing this correctly. First, I copied all of the above code and inserted it at the bottom of superfish.css. Saved the theme and nothing changed. Then I changed the Z index from 99 to 10 in the one place in the upper part of the superfish.css file. I then saved it with and without the new added code at the end of the file, still nothing.

Then I went in and added the last line of your code(with the z element to several different areas where "ul" was, again in the superfish file. Still nothing. I've attached the last superfish file.

I can relate to the passion stuff, I expect you get more than money could provide in these projects...provided folks are being patient :) Thanks for your passion.

Finally fixed the dropdown behind the video. I had to change my video to transparent, otheriwse it would always show above the dropdown regardless of the z index. Or at least that was the case here. Here is an example of the code for anyone else.

<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
<EMBED src="swf.swf" quality=best bgcolor=#FFFFFF wmode="transparent" WIDTH="550" ...

From the code above;

add the first line in with your other parameters.
then add wmode="transparent" in line with your other values.
