If bgiframe isn't fixing the issue, then read through these:

I took out relative from the jquery cycle plugin, but superfish still
goes behind the images.

Mm.

Any more help?
Please

Thanks Uwe for your reply.

I read about relative thing.
I haven't tried it yet.

But superfish has relative so that child can have absolute to position
itself.

As you said, it will screw up some parts.

Superfish has bigframe.js for the same problem with frames, but it
does not work for other things.

I will try to remove relative and I will see.

I hope some one will help me out.

I've had a similar problem recently which nobody could answer. However, what I 
found is this:
if you have an element that is floating and has a position of "relative", 
superfish will go below it in all IE versions I have to test (not 
firefox,chrome or safari). Remove the "relative" positioning and everything 
is fine, but it might screw up whichever element you have that shines thru.

I don't know if that's the same issue you have, but symptoms sure look very 
similar.
