Dropdown menu hiding behind content

HTML & CSS
1

Hi all, I’m having a problem with my new dropdown menu bar, i tried hard to figure out the problem but cannot seem to find a solution.

Here is the code for the dropdown menu bar

#nav,#nav ul {
    list-style: none outside none;
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
}
#nav {
    background: url('menu_bg.png') no-repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;
    clear: both;
    font-size: 12px;
    height: 58px;
    padding: 0 0 0 9px;
    position: relative;
    width: 957px;
}
#nav ul {
    background-color: #222;
    border:1px solid #222;
    border-radius: 0 5px 5px 5px;
    border-width: 0 1px 1px;
    box-shadow: 0 5px 5px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5);
    left: -9999px;
    overflow: hidden;
    position: absolute;
    top: -9999px;
    z-index: 2;

    -moz-transform: scaleY(0);
    -ms-transform: scaleY(0);
    -o-transform: scaleY(0);
    -webkit-transform: scaleY(0);
    transform: scaleY(0);

    -moz-transform-origin: 0 0;
    -ms-transform-origin: 0 0;
    -o-transform-origin: 0 0;
    -webkit-transform-origin: 0 0;
    transform-origin: 0 0;

    -moz-transition: -moz-transform 0.1s linear;

}
#nav li {
    background: url('menu_line.png') no-repeat scroll right 5px transparent;
    float: left;
    position: relative;

Please give the following a try:

Line 270


.tabs-outer {
    background: url("//www.blogblog.com/1kt/inc/tabs_gradient_light.png") repeat scroll 0 0 #FCFBF5;
    [color=red]overflow: hidden;[/color]    /* this is preventing dropdowns from showing */
    position: relative;
}

Hi takeover4444. Welcome to the forums. :slight_smile:

As ronpat points out, having overflow: hidden is a killer for a dropdown menu. You have it in a few other places, too, that will cause problems. E.g. you need to remeove it from the css 2 bundle CSS file a couple of times. E.g.

.tabs .widget ul, .tabs .widget ul {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
[COLOR="#FF0000"]overflow: hidden;[/COLOR]
list-style: none;
}

Also, keep <style> links out of your <body> area. Place them in your <head>, or better still, keep the styles in a style sheet. Having styles embedded just above the menu is poor practice. :slight_smile:
