Hello, I'm working on a new website for which I have both a drop-down menu and a NextGEN gallery slideshow on the home page.

I would like to have the drop-down menu appear on top of the images...

for some reason, the menu appears behind the gallery, and two of the options are only visible while the images are fading. I have tried to adjust this by upping the z-index but ive gotten no changes.

maybe im doing it wrongly...please i will appreciate good suggestions on this.

also how do i get text to wrap around the thumbnails - text to lay within the whitespace between the thumbnails

the site is - CHURCH

    Hi,

    I tried going to woodandfire dot org, but was presented with a 500 Internal Server Error. Get that fixed and I'd be happy to help.

    Sorry, can't PM apparently.

    The code below is what you have currently in this area. I do not see the immediate reason as to why it is not working correctly, however, first, I would try getting rid of the width as is: <td width="240">, so make all in this table just a simple <td>.

    If that doesn't do it, I would try getting rid of this: <td align="center" valign="top">
    and replacing with <td> as well.

    Code:
    <table id="table10" width="920" border="0" align="center">
    <tbody>
    <tr>
    <td width="240"><img src="http://wordandfire.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/pastn.jpg" alt="Pastor &amp; Wife" width="240" height="270" border="0" />
    </td>
    <td align="center" valign="top">
    <p align="left"><strong><span style="color: #ff0000; font-size: medium;">  Welcome To Eagles Arena...The Home of Stars</span></strong></p>
    <p style="text-align: left;">At the Eagles Arena, the most recurrent word is change. Timely and inspired change is the mark of a healthy church that is alive to the directive of the Holy Spirit.</p>
    <p style="text-align: left;">Word and Fire has evolved over the years, passing through series of changes required for more effective church ministry and by implication a greater impact on the larger society.</p>
    <p style="text-align: left;">In this vein, the church has been restructured to function in line with its core purposes which are: membership, maturity, evangelism and mission, ministry and worship.</p>

    </td>
    <td align="left" width="240"><img src="http://wordandfire.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/10/watchusontv.jpg" alt="Watch Us Live On Tv" width="240" height="270" border="0" /></td>
    </tr>
    </tbody>
    </table>

    I would suggest to change your theme to another one. Now it is convoluted with the useless values.

    But your biggest problem, it looks like, lies in your slides. The code used in the slides clashes with navigation menu-drops. Try another slides code as well, if with the new theme problem will not go away.

      I know you have tried with z-index, but please make sure you have given a hight value to the navigation (e.g z-index:100) and a low value to the slide show (e.g. z-index:-100). If applied correctly, this should work.

    The site design looks good. Have you thought of making the header font more high quality? It seems to be a little basic and a little blurry.
