help with an html only gallery. denise? allan?

[pics-ell]

hi. a while back i told you all i'd be working on a jeweler friend's site. things are moving along and getting close to going "public" but suddenly one of the html only galleries that i was using as a "links" type gallery (so that i had more control over size and positioning of photos) is going all wiggy. for some reason it is appearing ON TOP of the header. what the heck did i do wrong? and...the last time i looked at it (about a week and a half ago before i went out of town) it was fine. thoughts? anyone?
if you click jewelry on the navbar, you'll see what i mean.
if anyone has a quick answer, i'd appreciate it as i'm supposed to meet with the "client" in about an hour! i realized this last nite and enlisted the aid of a programmer friend of mine, but his "solution" didn't work... guess i should have left a message here, too...
thanks in advance...

In your CSS this is messing the tables, add the .menu in front.

/* style the table so that it takes no ppart in the layout - required for IE to work */
.menu table {position:absolute; top:0; left:0;}

the problem is not with the navbar, it is with the gallery appearing ON TOP of the navbar when you click on it. no other gallery (html only or otherwise) does this and when i first created this gallery it was not doing that either. what you are seeing in my css is code that i've turned off for a pulldown navbar that i'm still in the process of working on - totally not related to this problem... thanks

not sure where you mean in the css. there was never table info in the css as it was in the gallery description of a journal style gallery.
Look down in the middle of the nav CSS, it's there. It's part of that big glob of menu CSS.

i see it- but that whole "mess of css" is actually turned off. i'll stick the .menu in front of it, but i don't really see how it would be affecting things if it is turned off with /* */
AMAZING! thanks allen. i would still love to understand how/why that worked since i'm trying to learn this stuff... so weird. i guess i should take all that out for now?

You're "turned off" "whole mess of CSS" has many many comment tags in it
and surrounding it all with /* & */ doesn't work sometimes. Embedded
comment tags are not a good idea.

good tip - thanks so much for your quick response. it was really helpful to have that fixed before meeting with the "client". gonna remove ALL that stuff for now. you rock!
