jqueryui menu's submenu -- how to keep in front - css

I'm using jqueryui's menu feature, and the submenu overlaps other elements on the page. The problem is when I select the menu item which brings up the submenu, the submenu is displayed beneath the other elements.
I'm not sure how menu is to be configured, or if I have to override some jqueryui css elements, in order to get this to display as expected (over top of the other page elements).
The problem can be seen with the Tools menu at http://jsbin.com/hexuw/2/
Sorry the code is more complex than is necessary to show the minimal problem, but the menu call can be seen just a few lines down in the javascript file.
Thinking that this is a stacking problem I tried setting the navigation element z-index to a high number using the .ontop class, but that didn't help.

Add the line z-index:9999; under the selector .ui-menu
The CSS code will be
/* put navigation to the left (jquery ui) */
.ui-menu {
width: 10%;
float: left;
z-index:9999;
}

wordpress logo overlapping menu using layers

I am using layers framework for my wordpress based website. Checkout here medshopi.I have used left logo style for the menubar. In the menubar the logo and the menu items are overlapping. Same is the case with responsive layout. I dont understand which part of css is overlapping the logo and menu items.Your help is extremely appreciated and thanks in advance.
Remove
position: absolute;
from line number 157 on style.css
Since your .logo div is an absolutely positioned element, the sibling .nav becomes blind to it.
You have to give the nav enough space, via padding or margin to get around the issue. This assumes that you want the menu to start right after the menu. Example
.header-site nav {
margin-left: 200px;
}
Output 1
You could also remove the position absolute and accompanying style applied on your logo which seems to be the right thing to do.
Output 2:

Navigation getting cut off

So we're using Cherry Frameworks (ugh) with Wordpress. The third-level navigation is getting cut off. I've tried manipulating the CSS to fix the issue to no avail. There's no option in the framework.
The problem resides in the Services menu. Resize your screen smaller to view the issue.
My solution is to push the third-level nav to the left side instead of the right side. Thoughts on how to do this?
http://dev.torontofamilytherapist.com/
So using chrome's inspect element, I was able to figure out what needed to be changed:
#topnav li .sub-menu .sub-menu {
left: 100%;
margin: -10px 0 0 2px;
}
changed to:
#topnav li .sub-menu .sub-menu {
left: -100%;
margin: -12px 0 0 2px;
width: 100%;
}
The result:
As you can see the items are appearing on the left, but you'll need to do some css tweaks to get them to look juuuust right.
Here's how you can troubleshoot CSS issues like this using chrome's developer tools:
Right click over the offending element, in this case: we are looking at "Services", then select "Inspect Element":
You should now be inspecting the current CSS like so:
Now since these items are appearing when you hover, you'll have to 'force' a hover state.
This is where the fun begins. You'll have to make sure you find the right elements to force the hover on. I actually had a little struggle with this, so I ended up adding the force hover state to many other elements until it finally appeared (the green menu)
Repeated the same process to get the third tier menu.
Now you right click on the actual menu and select "inspect element" again - this time since the menus are FORCED HOVER, the item will stay selected when move the mouse away and you can finally see the actual CSS.
It was actually harder than it needed to be, as the theme really has some counter-intuitive settings to show these menus (why not just on hover?? it really felt like on multiple items hover..)

Side navigation submenu flyout pushes down other menu items in IE7

This problem is only showing up in IE7. Other browsers and IE8 and above work fine.
I am using a sprite map with an ul for my side navigation. There is a fly-out submenu for one of the li elements which also uses a sprite map with an ul for downloading various PDFs.
If you look at the image that I've attached, the submenu is appearing in the correct location, but it's pushing down everything below it. (The word "Music" should appear directly below the word "Menu".)
I have tried various fixes using a display: inline; element and position: static; element, but my attempts have failed. Would really appreciate some help on this. The website address is: http://www.graysonmain.com/
You could use a fixed height, height: 58px and display: inline-block for li#nav_02.
Have you looked into overlays with CSS? I'm very new to this so I, personally, can't give you a concrete answer, but it might be possible to set the positioning of the submenus and toggle the visibility with an onClick() command.

Superfish Menu in Wordpress header creating Scrollbars on dropdown

So I've tried looking through all of the posts on here, but I can't find my issue replicated anywhere (although that my speak more to my google abilities than to the uniqueness of my situation)
Basically I have a wordpress-based website (vegasonthemic.com) using the superfish plugin for the navigation menu.
I'm able to access dropdown menu items in the top navigation bar on every page except for the individual artist post items. (All Artists/Acoustic Male/clicking one of the pictures.)
When I go to a page like this one: http://vegasonthemic.com/portfolio-item/nate-ridgely-2012-04-19/ and try to access the All Artists dropdown menu it doesn't show all the way in firefox and IE and in chrome it creates these gnarly scrollbars.
I've tried adjusting z-indexes and overflow:visible;s to my little heart's content and can't figure out why on earth this is happening.
In your css the container need a overflow visible like this
#container {
width: 1280px;
overflow: visible;
}
Remove overflow:auto; from the container
#container {
overflow: auto; /*Remove this*/(from style.css (line 121))}

navigation menu css styling submenu gaps in ie7

I have a navigation menu generated by Wordpress, meaning I have pretty much no control on how it is output.
I have used css to style it the way I want with on-hover submenus, but it looks off in IE7. It does not have any problems in other browsers.
The main menu may seem off even in browsers that work because I am using #fontface on my website but did not include in the jsFiddle. The main problem is the gaps between the submenu items.
I have tried vertically aligning the submenu li and a, but it either made it worse or didn't fix the problem.
I have replicated the problem here: [link removed]
If I add
#menu-header .sub-menu a { height: 100%; }
It fixes the vertical gap problem, but the items are no longer the same width.
You can try the following :
#menu-header .sub-menu a { zoom: 1; }
This will remove the gap, but items will be the same width as the inner content.
I had the same problem some time ago. What I did was, create a container div inside the li. so that longer text can wrap, and set a static width. You can even use jQuery to adjust the widths of each dropdown dynamically, but that a whole different story.
