[jQuery] Re: SuckerFish menus covered by main content? please advise

This is a css issue. After looking at the source code of your site, I
noticed that the navigation is setup in table cells. The main nav
should be setup in lists, with the subnav in a nested list within the
main nav. See suckerfish drop down tutorial on 
http://www.alistapart.com/articles/dropdowns.
After following this tutorial, when you rollover a main nav item, the
sub nav items will appear as you desire.

We had a similar issue with our website when we first developed this.
When I looked at your site I did not notice the trap (IE7 and
Firefox). However, this is what we did: I set the z-index css property
on the menu containing div to be higher than the content area (if you
use positioning then z-index is assigned by default according to the
order in the source code). I also went one step further and set z-
index values in reverse order on each of the top level li elements
within the menu since we used images for the top level navigation that
made for some weird overlapping issues.

Hope it helps.
