Ordering of divs

Posted 01 July 2008 - 05:54 AM

Ok. So I am making a site for my boy scout troop and I'm having an issue. I put in a CSS menu that I made and I have a negative margin so that it covers a little of the top of the content section. Problem is that the content section appears on top of the nav bar. Anyone know how to put the content in the back?

My CSS
body {
	margin: 0;
	padding: 0;
	text-align: center;
	color: #404040;
	background-color: #006633;
	background-image: url(img/bg.jpg);
	background-repeat: repeat;
	font: small Arial, Helvetica, Verdana, Sans-Serif;
}
#container {
	margin: 30px 40px 30px 40px;
	padding: 10px;
}
#containerbottom {
	margin: 30px 40px 30px 40px;
	padding: 10px;
}
#header {
	width: 100%;
	text-align: left;
}
#sidebar1 {
	text-align: center;
	float: right;
	width: 275px;
	padding: 5px;
	border-left: 3px solid #404040;
	margin: 35px 0 35px 0;
}
#content {
	text-align: left;
	float: left;
	padding: 10px;
	margin: 35px;
}

/* Rounded corner box */
.top-left {
	background-image: url(img/tl.gif);
	height: 15px;
	margin-right: 15px;
	font-size: 2px;
}
.top-right {
	float: right;
	background-image: url(img/tr.gif);
	height: 15px;
	width: 15px;
	font-size: 2px;
}
.headcont div {
	border-left: 2px solid #E1D4AA;
	border-right: 2px solid #E1D4AA;
	background-color: #F5F5DC;
	padding-left: 10px;
	padding-right: 10px;
}
.bottom-left {
	background-image: url(img/bl.gif);
	height: 15px;
	margin-right: 15px;
	font-size: 2px;
}
.bottom-right {
	float: right;
	background-image: url(img/br.gif);
	height: 15px;
	width: 15px;
	font-size: 2px;
}
.bottom {
	clear: both;	
}
/* End Rounded corner box */

/* Header content */
#header h1 {

}
/* End header content */

try adding

z-index: 2;
to your #navbar style
