# CSS issue with dropdown Menu

 * I am stuck! I am building a drop-down menu, but for some reason the menu is hiding
   behind the content below it. I have tried Z-Index on many different elements,
   but can’t seem to make it work. Here is my testing site. You can see the drop-
   down items below the Vendors link: [http://mattandjentry.com/otgb/](http://mattandjentry.com/otgb/)
 * I can set the Canvas div to z-index: -1, which puts the menu above it, but then
   you can’t click, type, navigate, etc. Can anyone help me figure out why the menu
   is hiding behind #canvas?

 * I don’t see any z-index set for the canvas div (or anywhere else in your css 
   file). ??

 * I don’t currently have one set, but even when I have one set, It wasn’t helping.
   I set #canvas to 1, and then set everything in the header to 999999999999 as 
   a test, but still no go. :/

 * Did you have a position set for the elements with a z-index — it won’t work unless
   you do — see this reference:

 * OMG I AM A MORON! I knew to do that, but I had missed the position on my header
   element. Thank you so so so so so much! Now please excuse me while I go bang 
   my head on the wall for a while.

   help though 🙂 Really appreciate it 🙂
