Unable to click through overlaping containers

Basalt / 2014-01-08 10:00:59   

Hello,
I would really appreciate if somebody could help me with this.

  1. Here is my site:  basalt.is ;
  2. When I expand the WORK section tab, some of its exhibits tabs are bellow the INFO container, therefore I am not able to click these tabs.
  3. Here is an image to explain:  basalt.is/files/…;

Is is possible to click through the INFO section container in order to reach the exhibit tabs inside WORK section, while keeping the exhibit tabs inside the INFO section container clickable when the menu is expanded?

Thanks so much!

I tryed opening the site in Explorer and it works fine there.
Is there any way to have this working properly in other platforms?
Thanks!

This may require further customization and you'd need to check things in as many browsers as you can but this seems to rectify this.

  1. #index ul li ul { position: absolute; z-index: 1; }

Thanks for your quick reply arsondpi.
After placing your code in the css file, the page is now working well both in IE and Firefox, but still not working on Chrome and Safark. Any further ideas on how to solve this?
Thanks!

I've searched this a bit and I can't seem to make it work with css only (although there might be a way)
The right way to do this is to make it work in Indexpand: attach a css class in the expanded part of the index

Thanks again for you quick reply!
Do you mean editing the jquery.indexpand.js or plugin.indexpand.php?
If so, what code should I add and where exactly?

I can't tell since I haven't researched this. I guess in the javascript part... You need coding skills to do this.

Which problem? Basalt is after a solution for a very specific customisation of his site.

metacitizen / 2014-02-05 23:24:38   

Hi Arsondpi,
I am just asking about a solution for exactly the same customization that Basalt outlined above.
Would you know exactly how to edit query.indexpand.js in order to be able to click through overlapping containers?
Thanks!

You don't need to edit indexpand. If they are overlapping it means you've edited your CSS in such a way that is causing something very weird to happen.

Simply undo your edits or restore to a fresh set of CSS files and then work your changes back into things one at a time.
