Summary: Row Segment Spreasheet covered by menu

Initial Comment:
Two things: 

(1) the row segment upload spreadsheet is covered by the menu div which prevents access to popups. 
(2) the row segment upload spreadsheet is missing the little help icon. 

For (1): Using Safari, when I upload an edited Row Segment Template, I first download a blank template from here:

http://treebasedb-dev.nescent.org/treebase-web/user/uploadRowSegmentData.html

And then upload a finished spreadsheet here:

http://treebasedb-dev.nescent.org/treebase-web/user/rowSegmentDataTable.html

The result (attached image) shows a spreadsheet where the menu system is hovering over (and blocking access to) several important popups. This can be avoided if the window width is decreased below 944 pixels, but it's not at all obvious to the user that shrinking the window is the solution to the problem. Instead, I think it would be better to hide the menu for this page (or shift the spreadsheet down so that is is not covered by the menu). 

Then for (2) we just need to add a help icon so that I can enter instructions for the user on the row segment upload spreadsheet.
