Question #258

My Pop Menu Magic menu sub-menus go behind other parts of my page. Is there a fix for this?

The Answer

Prepared Jan. 2009 by Al Sparber, PVII

If you use absolute or relatively positioned elements on your page, including some PVII panel widgets, your PMM sub-menus could go behind those elements. The fix is to make the element that contains your PMM menu relatively positioned and to give it a high z-index value. For example, if you inserted your menu inside a DIV called "menuwrapper", edit your #menuwrapper style rule like this:

#menuwrapper {
position: relative;
z-index: 9999999;
}

If you are using Pop Menu Magic 2, your menu has a built-in wrapper which you can use for this purpose. The wrapper DIV for PMM2 will look like this:

<div id="p7PMM_1" class="p7PMMh08">

The ID relates to the PMM2 menu on your page. That is, if you have one menu on your page the ID will be p7PMM_1. If you have 2 menus on your page, each menu will have a distinct ID—p7PMM_1 for the first menu and p7PMM_2 for the second one. The class name relates to the style theme you have chosen for a particular menu. You can assign the relative position and z-index values to either the menu's ID or the class:

#p7PMM_1 {
position: relative;
z-index: 9999999;
}

.p7PMMh08 {
position: relative;
z-index: 9999999;
}

That's it!
