I have a very odd glitch that only happens in firefox. The header div of my site will disappear from view only after the user has scrolled down the page and then moved the mouse on to the header nav. I have been searching for a couple of hours now on what piece of code I may be missing.
The site is not super dynamic as it does need to be so I don't think there is any Jquery/javascript with improperly formatted event listeners or anything. What I suspect the problem to be is something in the CSS code. I have done 3 different things for this site that I normally do not do. I used an absolutely positioned div, I used z-index and I constructed a CSS only nested menu structure in the nav.
While none of these things by themselves (except the ap div) is truly offensive in nature, I wonder if the combination of these 3 items is causing me a problem?
Here is the page structure for the header div and the governing CSS
<div id="header">
<div id="headwrap">
<div id="logo">
<img src="images/logo.png" height="35px" width="35px"/>
</div> <!-- end logo -->
<div id="logotitle" class="ie">
Cambridge Companies
</div> <!-- end logotitle -->
<div class="headnav">
<ul id="top-menu">
<li><a href="?page=home"><span>Home</span></a></li>
<li> <a href="#"><span>Company</span></a>
<ul class="sub-menu">
<li><a href="?page=company">Overview</a></li>
<li><a href="?page=mission">Our Mission</a></li>
<li><a href="?page=team">Meet the Team</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li> <a href="#"><span>Investments</span></a>
<ul class="sub-menu">
<li><a href="?page=completed">Completed</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.cambridgecompanies.us/wordpress/">Opportunities</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><a href="?page=investments"><span>Services</span></a></li>
<li><a href="#"><span>Careers</span></a>
<ul class="sub-menu">
<li><a href="?page=vp">VP of Business Development</a></li>
<li><a href="?page=assistant">Assistant</a></li>
<li><a href="?page=intern">Intern</a></li>
</ul>
</li>
<li><a href="?page=contact"><span>Contact</span></a></li>
</ul>
