If you've struggled to figure out why your drop down menus are showing behind other content, you may have come across the IE 7 z-index bug.<\/p>\n

Without duplicating the content on the many articles that discuss this issue, here's a quick way to resolve it with a little jQuery:<\/p>\n

\n\tjQuery (to be run in your document.ready or document.load event)<\/h3>\n

$("#menu-wrapper ul li<\/em>").parents().each(function() {
\n\t    var p = $(this);
\n\t    var pos = p.css("position");
\n\t        if(pos == "relative" || pos == "absolute" || pos == "fixed") {
\n\t        p.hover(function() {
\n\t                $(this).addClass("on-top");
\n\t            },
\n\t            function() {
\n\t                $(this).removeClass("on-top");
\n\t            });
\n\t    }
\n\t});<\/code><\/p>\n

css<\/h3>\n
