# 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 ](http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Freshelter.org%2F&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&group=0)
   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.
