Remove your easy fix. Then, apply position:relative to the container 
that holds the dropdown, and add a positive z-index there.

IE tends to establish a new stacking contexts for every relatively 
positioned container, even if it has no z-index. Your dropdowns cannot 
escape from that wrong stacking context.

Unfortunately I have no URL to test whether I am right or not
