Remora theme and navigation

Currently the Remora theme’s dropdown menus are positioned with position: absolute;. Because position is used, the element can end up behind elements/layers that have higher z-index or are defined later in the page.

Anyways, I’m suggesting that Remora’s style sheets gets tiny change and dropdown menus get z-index value, preventing them from going behind elements that float or are positioned absolutely/relatively.

The change won’t break existing lightbox plugins or such, because the menus are only active (and shown) when hovered over.

Change that I’m proposing is; around line 61 in /textpattern/theme/remora/textpattern.css:

#nav li ul {
z-index: 100;

I absolutely agree.
I’d estimate a “slightly” higher value, though: E.g. ebl_image_edit comes with dizzying 290 and 350.

Re: Remora theme and navigation

Tangentially, I just “borrowed” the Remora menu CSS for a personal project. Was wondering who developed this? I know it’s based on the “Suckerfish Dropdown”, but it has some nice refinements.

Re: Remora theme and navigation

Sounds good to me, Gocom/Uli. If nobody has objections after some time has elapsed, I’ll consider it a go. Anybody have a handle on the highest z-index used in a plugin to date? 350 is the highest so far… Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Anyone?

Wet Suckerfish. Is that what a Remora is?

Edit: Should have come up with something wittier; I actually knew what a remora is, I just wanted to type “Wet Suckerfish”.

I had a hunch it sounded fishy.
