I tried setting the z-index for #nav to something very high but that didn't work. If you click on another page, you will see that I have one child menu item in the nav module position.
I'm having the same problem with the menu dropping down behind frontpage slideshow. Please advise if there is a fix yet. this was a post on frontpage slideshow's forum;
It was frustrating but finally found a fix for the suckerfish menu going behind FPSS - from James at Rockettheme:
In template.css.css add the red z-index:
div#horiz-menu li {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
padding-right: 2px;
float: left;
list-style: none;
z-index: 15; {{{{{ this is the fix which was in red}}}}}
Works for me using the Colormatic template.
however I can not find this in the afterburner template
