- Now find (CTRL + F) this line:
/* Tabs
- It will also have some little lines beneath:
/* Tabs
----------------------------------------------- */
- And just below these little lines, delete the code below until you reach at:
/* Columns
----------------------------------------------- */
- Instead of the code that you have removed, add this one:
#crosscol ul {z-index: 200; padding:0 !important;}
#crosscol li:hover {position:relative;}
#crosscol ul li {padding:0 !important;}
.tabs-outer {z-index:1;}
.tabs-inner {padding: 0 0px;}
