Hi, I am using a theme which dynamically writes the CSS file and the only way to change anything in it is to add lines to a special section that will add it before it creates the file everytime.

I am having trouble figuring out how to add the z index string.

Any ideas?

Hi,

I can't see an example on your site – none of the dropdowns cover the DCG. Have you looked at the FAQs? There's one that covers z-index issues.

You can't see it because I shortened the number of items in my menus so that I wouldn't have the problem. I have looked at the FAQ and it does not give any real detail about the z-index string. I tried adding the string mentioned in a bunch of different ways but it didn't do anything..
How can I figure out which of my css strings needs to be changed?

Hi,

I always use the firebug and/web developer toolbar add-ons for Firefox. These are brilliant tools for letting you examine the CSS which is controlling each element on the page.

Look at the ul and li CSS definitions for your menu. When adding z-index, you must use position: relative; as well – otherwise it won't work.

Hope this helps.

The CSS inspector shows the dropdown list items as:
#topnav a {
z-index: 10;
}

Do I just need to add the position: relative to that?

Yes. That should work, though you may need to set your z-index higher than 10.

Added this to my stylesheet to no avail:
#topnav a {
position: relative;
z-index:15;
}

Any other ideas?

It's working. Just checked your site and the Twitter dropdown covers the DCG.
