Shadowbox almost on top layer but not quite

I am not that proficient in CSS but I was wondering how I might "trump" all of the other CSS files on my Joomla site to fix my shadowbox display.  It is being overwritten by just one group of elements.

In lieu of a screenshot, you can see the problem by going to my site at www.checklistconnections.com, select the far right "shadowbox test" tab in middle of the screen and then select the "My Image" hyperlink.

It would be awesome if I could get this to work.

Thanks,

You've got something wrong somewhere!
Look at your page's source and find the H3 containing "Shadowbox Test". Immediately following that element is an entire page, which brings in the Shadowbox includes and a link ("My Image") pointing to a jpg.
This is not correct! I don't know how you've managed it, but somehow, instead of getting the Shadowbox files included into Joomla's head section for the main page, you've loaded a full page document into the tabs module.
If you're not using a Joomla extension to implement Shadowbox, change your template to manually include the Shadowbox files, with additional javascript to run the Shadowbox.init(), and just put your test image link into the tab as plain html (like the other tabs).
Combine literacy with curiosity and a whole world of information opens up to you

Thank you so much for your help.  I had to put the Shadowbox includes into the tab page because it is part of a module and not integrated into the rest of the site.  I believe that I have my problem fixed now by "jacking" the z-index way up in the Shadowbox CSS.  It probably isn't the prettiest way to do it but it is now working.

Thanks again,
RJ
