Creating Menu with position:fixed . help

Hey guys,

I am taking advantage of the position:fixed that Guil presented , to make a fixed navigation. the problem that I encounter is that the nav does not appear on top of the fixed div.

Here is my code:

<body>

<header>
    <div class="fixed">
        <nav>
        <ul>
            <li><a href="#">Home</a></li>
            <li><a href="#">About</a></li>
            <li><a href="#">Contact</a></li>
         </ul>
        </nav>

    </div>
    <a href="img/logo.png" > 
        <img src="img/logo.png" >
    </a>
</header>

body{
    background:#be9f23  ;
}
/*********************************************************
Fixed navigation
********************************************************/
.fixed{
    position:fixed;
    width:100%;
    height:4em;
    background:#f2ede4;
    color:black;

}

nav{
    display:inline-block;
    color:#000;
    background:tomato;
}

Hi Elena!

do you mean this results?

style.css 
body{
    background: #be9f23;
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
}
/*********************************************************
Fixed navigation
********************************************************/
.fixed{
    position:fixed;
    width:100%;
    height:4em;
    background:#f2ede4;
    color:black;
    z-index: 10; /* keep the header in front of other objects */
}

nav{
    color:#000;
    background: tomato; /* amazing color choice! */
}

nav ul {
  list-style: none;
  margin-top: 0;
}

nav ul li {
  display: inline-block;
}
