Drop down menu cuts off or appears behind div

I have a drop down menu which is appearing behind my image transition gallery div. Below is the image of what it looks like and the HTML and CSS for it.

enter image description here

HTML:

<body>
<div id="top_bar">
<div id="top_inner">
<div id="logo"> <a href="http://www.edosbornephotography.com"><img src="images/logo.gif" alt="Ed Osborne" width="225" height="115" class="logo"></a></div>
<div class="nav">
<ul class = "menu" >
            <li> <a href = "#" > Home </a> </li>
            <li><a href = "#" > Packages </a>
            <li><a href = "#" > Weddings </a>
            <li><a href = "#" id="left" > Lifestyle </a>
        <ul class = "submenu" >
            <li> <a href = "#" > Families </a> </li>
            <li> <a href = "#"> Newborn/Child </a> </li>
            <li> <a href = "#" > Portraits </a> </li>
        </ul>
        </li>

        <li> <a href = "#" > Blog </a> </li>
        <li><a href = "#" id="left"> Abous Us </a>
        <ul class = "submenu" >
        <li> <a href = "#" > Ed Osborne </a> </li>
        <li> <a href = "#" > Testimonials </a> </li>
        <li> <a href = "#" > FAQs </a> </li>
        </ul>
        </li>

        <li> <a href = "#" > Contact Us </a> </li>
        <li> <a href = "#" > Links </a> </li>
        </ul>
    </div>
</div>
</div>

<div id="main">  

<div id="smart-gallery">
    <a href="images/cubagallery-img-1.jpg">

    <a href="images/cubagallery-img-4.jpg"></a>
        <img src="images/cubagallery-img-4.jpg" /></a>
</div>

</div>

CSS:

.min-gallery
{
width: 927px;
height: 615px;
border: solid 1px black;
background-color: Black;
background: url(../images/bg.jpg);
margin: auto;
margin-left: 232px;
}

.min-gallery .preview
{
width: 852px;
height: 493px;
margin-top: 36px;
margin-left: 36px;
margin-right: 36px;
position: relative;
border: solid 2px black;
overflow: hidden;
background-color: White;
}

.min-gallery .preview img
{
/* width: 795px;             height: 525px;*/
position: absolute;
}

.min-gallery .bottom
{
width: 100%;
height: 98px;
color: Gray;
font-family: Arial;
font-size: 1em;
font-weight: bold;
overflow: hidden;
}

#top_bar {

height: 145px;
background: #000000;
padding-bottom: 20px;
}

#top_inner {
text-align: center;
margin: 0 auto;
width: 1000px;
height: 144px;
}

.nav {
margin: 0 auto;
position: relative;
padding-top: 100px;
}

ul.menu {
list-style: none;
margin: 0;
float: left;
background: #222;
font-size: 1.2em;
background: url(../images/topnav_bg.gif) repeat-x;
}
ul.menu li {
float: left;
margin: 0;  
position: relative; 
}
ul.menu li a{
padding: 10px 18px;
color: #fff;
display: block;
text-decoration: none;
float: left;
}

ul.menu li a#left{
padding: 10px 5px;
color: #fff;
display: block;
text-decoration: none;
float: left;
}

ul.menu li a:hover {
background: url(../images/topnav_hover.gif) no-repeat center top;
}

ul.menu li span { 
width: 11px;
height: 35px;
float: left;
background: url(../images/subnav_btn.gif) no-repeat center top;
}

ul.menu li span.subhover {
background-position: center bottom; cursor: pointer;
}

ul.menu li ul.submenu {
list-style: none;
position: absolute; 
left: 0; top: 35px;
background: #333;
margin: 0; padding: 0;
display: none;
float: left;
width: 170px;
-moz-border-radius-bottomleft: 5px;
-moz-border-radius-bottomright: 5px;
-webkit-border-bottom-left-radius: 5px;
-webkit-border-bottom-right-radius: 5px;
border: 1px solid #111;
}

ul.menu li ul.submenu li{
margin: 0; padding: 0;
border-top: 1px solid #252525; 
border-bottom: 1px solid #444; 
clear: both;
width: 170px;
}

html ul.menu li ul.submenu li a {
float: left;
width: 122px;
padding-left: 30px;
text-align: left;
}

When I remove position:absolute from .min-gallery .preview img, the drop down menu appears on top which is how I want it but the images do stop changing and just stick on one image.

Anyone got a quick fix? Sorry about the pasting of all the code but I dont know how else I can express my point to you guys

Thanks

How do I create a dynamic drop-down list in HTML?

To add a dropdown list dynamically, you would need to create the HTML <select> element, its label and optionally a <br> tag. In pure JavaScript, you can use the document. createElement() method to programmatically create a dropdown list. Then you can call the Node's appendChild() method or jQuery's .

Why is Z Index not working?

You set z-index on a static element By default, every element has a position of static. z-index only works on positioned elements (relative, absolute, fixed, sticky) so if you set a z-index on an element with a static position, it won't work.

Find the overflow property in the parent or in the child element and remove the overflow property.

set the higher z-index of drop down menu .

.submenu { z-index: 999; }

reason "An element with greater stack order is always in front of an element with a lower stack order."
