If your dropdown menu is falling behind your footer on the "Sectors" page in Webflow, there could be a few reasons for this issue. Here are some possible causes and solutions:

Z-index issue: The dropdown menu might have a lower z-index value than the footer, causing it to appear behind the footer. To fix this, you can increase the z-index of the dropdown menu so that it appears above the footer. Here's how you can do it:

Select the dropdown menu element in the Webflow Designer.
In the Styles panel, go to the Positioning section.
Increase the z-index value until the dropdown menu appears above the footer.

Positioning issue: The dropdown menu might have incorrect positioning, causing it to overlap with the footer. To fix this, you need to make sure the dropdown menu is positioned properly. Here's what you can do:

Select the dropdown menu element in the Webflow Designer.
In the Styles panel, go to the Positioning section.
Choose the appropriate position value (e.g., relative, absolute) based on your design requirements.
Adjust the top, bottom, left, or right values to position the dropdown menu correctly without overlapping with the footer.

Overflow issue: The container or parent element of the dropdown menu might have an overflow property set to "hidden" or "auto," which could cause the menu to be cut off or hidden behind the footer. To solve this, follow these steps:

Select the container or parent element of the dropdown menu in the Webflow Designer.
In the Styles panel, go to the Positioning section.
Change the overflow property to "visible" or "scroll" to allow the dropdown menu to extend beyond the container boundaries.

By addressing these potential issues with z-index, positioning, and overflow, you should be able to resolve the problem of your dropdown menu falling behind the footer on the "Sectors" page in Webflow.
