Currently, I changed your right section background-color to red. You can fix that.</p> <p>What was wrong was, you had an extra div wrapping your section class containing the content with a "position:relative" for styling. The div was unnamed, and therefore could not be referenced with a stylesheet, so I deleted it. Also, in the first section div class you misspelled relative how I completely removed it, because you don't need it. I set every items z-index to 1 initially and upped your z-index on the .browsemenu class to 10. Also, the paragraph where "Fusce adipi...." starts, the div wrapping that randomly contained the word peach in the style referencing.</p> <p>I made comments for all my edits. Good luck and I hope this helped.</p>
