in General

I have a bootstrap menu and the dom elements are hidden under it. Also when I click "New" the editor window is partialy hidden also. Been struggling with this for hours and can't seem to find an answer.

    did you look at the z index of each? You might have to adjust it for this situation, and/or move it down a hair

    What is the z index and how would i change it?

  • th3t1ckth3t1ck Posts: 228Questions: 37Answers: 1

    Great link and it did move the buttons, etc. down but now the datatable is covering the dom objects. I've tried using headeroffset but it doesn't do anything. I'm probably using it wrong or my understanding of what it does is wrong. I thought headeroffset would move the header of the datatable down. Is that right?

    What I'm trying is ...

        fixedHeader: {
  headerOffset: 50,
      header: true,
      footer: true
    },
      etc...

    Could you give us a link to the page showing the issue so we can debug it directly?

    Thanks,
    Allan

  • th3t1ckth3t1ck Posts: 228Questions: 37Answers: 1

    Ok. https://jsfiddle.net/vun7y6sk/3/

  • allanallan Posts: 63,494Questions: 1Answers: 10,470 Site admin

    Thanks - however, I'm getting a lot of 404 errors there. Most of the imports are relative and they are being loaded from JSFiddle, which doesn't have those resources.

    Are you able to give me a link to a running page that shows the issue you are seeing please?

    Not all the links work yet. I am still working on the site. The first half of links under "Lookup Data" currently work. Also as a work around I added a table with no data to move the buttons and such down. If you load chp_area_offices-db.php you will see the problem. I commented out the table on this one page to show the problem.

  • th3t1ckth3t1ck Posts: 228Questions: 37Answers: 1

    I found the problem. It was the css and js I was using. Had some in the wrong order and others were old.
