Drop-down menu in CSS appears under page content - css

Question

I have done hours and hours of research on this issue but can't get it to work! I finally got my CSS menu looking exactly how I want it to - yay! But now it drops down under the other content on the page, and I can't figure out how to get it to come up on top. I have adjusted the positioning as many people mentioned, and set the z-index settings all the way up to 2000, with no effect. What am I doing wrong?? Using Firefox - current version.
Here is the CSS code (and no, I don't have a link to show example, as the site isn't published yet)
#cssmenu:before, #cssmenu:after, #cssmenu > ul:before, #cssmenu > ul:after {
content: '';
display: table;
}
#cssmenu:after, #cssmenu > ul:after {
clear: both;
}
#cssmenu
{
zoom: 1;
}
#cssmenu > ul
{
background: #00305f;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
position: relative;
}
#cssmenu > ul li
{
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
list-style: none;
}
#cssmenu > ul > li
{
float: left;
position: relative;
}
#cssmenu > ul > li > a
{
padding: 20px 25px;
display: block;
color: white;
font-family: Georgia, Times, Serif;
font-size: 20px;
text-transform: capitalize;
text-decoration: none;
text-shadow: 0 -1px 0 rgba(151, 99, 33, .43);
line-height: 18px;
}
#cssmenu > ul > li:hover > a
{
background: #5783af;
}
#cssmenu > ul > li > a > span
{
line-height: 18px;
}
#cssmenu > ul > li.active > a
{
background: #5783af;
}
#cssmenu > ul > li > a:active
{
background: #5783af;
}
#cssmenu > ul ul
{
