I keep getting the same issue when attacking the problem in the method offered on various sites.
Q.How can i set the nav to a z-index of 1000 to appear above all other elements in the site?
I have tried position: absolute & relative' within the fixed div.
I need the nav to be fixed, and expand as bootstrap does but i need the whole nav at any time to appear above anything else.
The nav
<div id='nav_container' class='fixed_nav'>
<div id='nav_div' class=''>
<nav id='navbarnav' class="navbar navbar-default admin_nav_bar" role="navigation">
<div class="container-fluid">
<!-- Brand and toggle get grouped for better mobile display -->
<div class="navbar-header">
<button type="button" class="navbar-toggle" data-toggle="collapse" data-target="#bs-example-navbar-collapse-1">
<span class="sr-only">Toggle navigation</span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
<span class="icon-bar"></span>
</button>
<a class="navbar-brand" href="#"><img class='brand_image' src='assets/images/logo-1-small.png' alt='' /></a>
</div>
<!-- Collect the nav links, forms, and other content for toggling -->
<div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="bs-example-navbar-collapse-1">
<ul class="nav navbar-nav pills">
<li class="active home-pill"><a href="#home" id='home_button'>Home</a></li>
