Thank you CES for the links. After much research, trial and error, and finding solutions that did not solve the issue, it turns out that your original suggestion a few days ago of just changing the 'z-index' worked perfectly. My problem was, I had no clue WHAT a z-index was (I do NOW
) nor did I know WHAT file to look for it in or where to even begin looking or what to change even if i found it...
So, in case there are any other non-programmers/css/php/sql savvy zencart users out there besides me... and for anyone else that has tirelessly researched these boards looking for a way to get lightbox to appear in FRONT of a css drop-down header menu...
Here is the ultimate solution that has finally and successfully worked for me....
1. open the following file:
/includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/css/stylesheet_lightbox.css
2. at the top of the page find this code:
Code:
#lightbox{
position: absolute;
left: 0;
width: 100%;
z-index: 100;
text-align: center;
line-height: 0;
}
3. change the value of z-index from 100 to 9000
TA-DA...
THE PERFECT INTEGRATION OF LIGHTBOX WITH A CSS DROP DOWN HEADER MENU 
So thank you VERY much for your z-index suggestion that worked perfectly once I figured out what it meant 
Zencart ROCKS
