I'm in the tech degree program for Team Treehouse. I'm doing their projects. On my current project, the body is hiding my HTML elements. I don't want them to be hidden. Please help me figure out what I'm doing wrong.

This is the HTML:

the img tag under "Newsletter" is where it starts to break.

HTML

<!DOCTYPE html>
	<html lang="en">
		<head>
			<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="survey_styles.css">
			<link href="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Open+Sans:400,300,600" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css">
			<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">

		<body>
		<div class="nav">
				<ul>
					<li class="frog"><a href="index.html">Accessible Frog</a></li>
					<li><a href="tour.html">Tour</a></li>
					<li><a href="">Survey</a></li>
				</ul>
			</div>
		<div class="header">
			<div class="heading">
				<h1>ACCESSIBLE FROG</h1>
				<h2>we make awesome music</h2>
			</div>
		</div>
		<div class="box">
			<h1>Survey</h1>
			<img src="img/concert01.jpg" width="200">

				</select>
			<p>What is your favorite song?</p>
				<textarea rows="5" col="20"></textarea>
		<div class="box2">
			<h1>Newsletter</h1>
			<img src="img/the_band.jpg" width="200">
			
		</div>

This is the CSS:

CSS

@media (max-width: 500px) {
body {
color: green;
height: 1000px;
}

.header {
background: url("img/concert02_no_text.jpg") no-repeat center center;
background-size: cover;
height: 300px;
margin-top: -101px;
margin-left: -7px;
margin-right: -10px;
overflow: hidden;
text-align: center;

}

ul {
list-style: none;
text-align: right;
background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.6);
width: 100%;
position: fixed;
top: 0px;
left: 0px;
margin-top: 0px;
height: 50px;

}

ul li {
display: inline-block;
position: relative;
margin-top: 15px;
right: 40px;	
color: #9b9b9b;
margin-right: 20px;
font-size: .75em;
}	

a {
text-decoration: none;
color: grey;

}

ul .frog {
text-align: left;
position: fixed;
left: 5%;
letter-spacing: 2px;
font-size: .75em;
}

.heading h1 {
color: black;

}

h1 {
position: relative;
top: 125px;
font-size: 1.5em;
margin-top: 30px

}

h2 {
position: relative;
top: 100px;
font-size: 1em;
color: #ad0505;
margin-top: 30px;

}

.box {
background-color: black;
background-size: cover;
height: 600px;
margin-top: -15px;
margin-left: -7px;
margin-right: -10px;
padding-bottom: -200px;
overflow: hidden;
text-align: center;
}

.box h1 {
color: red;
position: relative;
top: -10px;

}

.input p {
color: green;

}

.optab {
position: relative;
right: 15px;

}

.box2 {
background-color: black;
background-size: cover;
height: 500px;
margin-top: -15px;
margin-left: -7px;
margin-right: -10px;
padding-bottom: -200px;
text-align: center;
}

.box2 h1 {
padding-top: 20px;

}

}

What I have tried:

Adjusting padding, margins, removing hidden from overflow or increasing body height.

You have two problems:

1. You fixed the ul element to the top instead the container (nav)
Change you CSS like this:

CSS

/* new */
.nav
{
    width: 100%;
    position: fixed;
    top: 0px;
    left: 0px;
    z-index: 9999;
}

/* updated */
ul
{
    list-style: none;
    text-align: right;
    background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.6);
    margin-top: 0px;
    height: 50px;
}

2. You are creating grey for the navigation bar by defining half-opaque black... it means you will see thru that nav-bar evn thing blow it...
Change rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.6) to rgb(103, 103, 103)
