title: IE7 Z-Index Issue (CSS DropDown)
body: <p>I have tried a few different fixes using JQuery and CSS Tricks, but I can't seem to get my drop down menu to lay over top of my accordion slider in IE7. It seems to work fine in any other web browser. Any help would be greatly appreciated.</p>

            &lt;div class="cl"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;
