The main menu has a sub menu where it papers when you hover of it , this works and it doesn’t move any divs around or anything but it is getting hidden but the div under the main menu how do i fix it?

  1. div.thathastopopup {
        z-index:1;
    }
    

    Documentation on z-index on MDN here.

    In short, you can use z-index to put elements that are positioned absolute, relative or fixed over eachother. The default z-index is 0, and stacking order is defined within the direct parent.

  2. Use the CSS property for z-index. You can think of it like an order for the z dimension. So if you stack things on top of each other, the z-index defines which is above which element. The higher the number, the higher the element. So z-index of 10 will hide anything with a z-index of < 10.

  3. Don’t forget z-index only works on elements which position property doesn’t equal static (ie. elements with position: absolute, position: relative or (if I’m not mistaken) position: fixed)).
