  • You can set a higher z-index on the drop down, and it will show above the video.

    I made some changes to this code here with no luck I wonder if it is somewhere else as well. The video is from youtube.

    `/* List items in main menu –[for non-javascript users this applies to submenus as well] */
    #nav li {
    /*great place to use a background image as a divider*/
    background-image:url(../img/mainnav-sep.gif);
    background-repeat:no-repeat;
    background-position: 100% 5px;
    cursor: pointer;
    float: left;
    margin: 0 2px 0 0;
    padding: 0 2px 0 0;
    height: 30px;
    display: inline;
    }
    #subMenusContainer li {
    list-style: none;
    }
    /* main menu ul or ol elment */
    #nav {
    width: 930px;
    margin: 0 auto;
    clear: both;
    overflow: hidden;
    font-size: 12px;
    display: block;
    }
    #nav .children{
    display: none;
    }
    #subMenusContainer {
    display:block;
    position:absolute;
    top:0;
    left:0;
    width:100%;
    height:0;
    overflow:visible;
    z-index:1000000000;
    }

    I would probably do it here…

    #nav {
    width: 930px;
    margin: 0 auto;
    clear: both;
    overflow: hidden;
    font-size: 12px;
    display: block;
    z-index:800;
    }

    I’ve been playing around with this, and it looks like it’s a bug, because nothing works.

    I found some info on Enabling hiding of embedded objects Here.

    There is a link on that same page that takes you Here which might be more useful, since that page is intended for the AddToAny plugin.

    Hopefully that will solve the issue.

    Thanks I will look, I love the design of this template and the look, but man have I been having issues. Do you recommend any template that I can make look like this one which I have already customized? I need drop down menu and the navigation feature I really like it I need to make my blog look like a website with all the cool features.

    I love this look where everything is located, I am also going to work on this template maybe I can fix some of these many bugs, thanks again, Ronnie.

    If I were going to customize a template to suit my needs I would start with a simple one, and add features to it.

    The drop down menu is just a series of nested lists, if you look at the html you can just about figure out the design at a glance.

    You really just need to decide what elements/features you want, design the header, content, sidebar, and footer, then add your features to those.

    Looks like I would have to enter the code with each item. The issue is I have so much information to post it would take hours to do it that way. If I read that wrong advise please.

    Need code to get the drop down on top all the time for every page.

    Anyway,

    Did you read the help page I suggested?

    I’ve tried everything short of moving the video down to give the drop down room, but nothing works.

    I’m guessing YouTube is running a script to insure that their vids stay on top no matter what you set your menu’s z-index to. So you’re going to have to force the vids to behave, and the help page I linked to is the only reference I’ve found on how to do that.

    The thing is I also have a banner that I made and my menu drops over it, grr…

    You might try adding <param name="wmode" value="transparent"> to the object tag.

    and wmode="transparent" to the embedded tag.

    I am not sure what do do about my entire navigation menu, when the page loads it jumps and take longer to load on my page as well. I may need to do it over. Any ideas on the jumping. and slow load.

    FishDogFish, I’d been struggling with this for about a half hour, messing with z-indexes and everything. That wmode thing you suggested worked perfectly. Thank you so much.

    I’m having the same problem and the real bummer is, I’m using the Automatic Youtube Video Posts Plugin to import my videos.

    This is going to make it hard for me to add the “wmode” suggestion since the videos are imported dynamically.

    I’ve tried adjusting the z-index without luck but perhaps I’m not doing that to the right CSS selector.

    Any suggestions?
