Drop down Menu hidden behind gallery plugin

I added a gallery plugin for a site I am working on, but it hides the drop down menu of the navigation. I have tried adding z-index: 9999; but I am having 0 luck. Any advice would be awesome.

Here is the website: http://twolittlefeetphotography.com/

Thanks

Hi Trent,

If you set the z-index of '#post-247' to 1, this will drop back behind your menu. You can then change your top menu back to 2. As long as it is 1 in front of the other it will work. :)

#post-247    { z-index:1; }
#topmenu    { z-index:2; }

Oh wow nice. Thanks for the help. that work like a charm. My only question now is if I add more photos will it effect the drop down menu?

No, they shouldn't. The key to using 'z-index' in this way is to set it on the 'parent' items. This means that anything inside 'post-247' will be behind anything in 'topmenu'. If 'post-247' is just one of many possible 'posts' then you may need to find a better container to set the z-index on, or maybe use 'article' if that suits.
