Making header clickable

  • I installed a multi-level navigation plugin to my new site and it has made the header un-clickable. If I remove the plugin, the header is clickable. I use the same plugin on another site with the same theme, so there should not be a problem but I can’t figure it out and the plugin developer wants to charge a lot of money to help me. I thought maybe it would be an easy fix. Anyone know?

    Also, I had hoped the navigation could overlap the header itself, without hiding the left side logo. Is there any way to move the navigation bar up and make it transparent wherever there are no tabs on the left side?

    Any advice much appreciated. I am not a programmer…so please spell out any suggestions in layman’s terms. THANK YOU!!!

    Thanks for your suggestion, that would be good if I didn’t know how to make the header clickable. The problem is the code is correct; but somehow the plugin is interfering, as I described. If I disable the plugin, the header is clickable again. So I am looking for someone who might be able to tell me why that is happening – what in the plugin code is interfering with the header being clickable?

    seems to be a ‘z-index’ problem:
    the z-index of #header h1 a was -1 which made it lay behind other elements – change it to something positive: 1001 worked; and the change the height from 167px to 157px to prevent the header logo covering part of the menu;

    #header h1 a {
			display: block;
			width: 752px; height: 157px; /* was height 167px;*/
			text-indent: -9999px;
			outline: none;
         		position: absolute;
                        z-index:1001; /* was z-index:-1; */
			background-repeat: no-repeat;
			background-position: 0 0;
		}

    only checked in firefox

    also have a look at the validation errors of your site – these are often the cause for unexplained browser behaviour.

    THANK YOU SO MUCH!! That fixed it. I don’t know how to fix all my validation errors. If there is anyone that can do this for me for hire, please let me know.
