Java drop down error...
 

I am building an online record store using x-cart, and I had a third party integrate my design into x-cart, it looks really cool (http://www.calsound.com/shop/home.php) but I have an issue in Internet Explorer. I am using Java script drop down menus, but the first one, the furthest to the left, "vinyl records" when it drops down, the search boxes below appear in front of the drop down menu, obscuring it. I am assuming this has something to do with the z-index of the menu, but I am not sure where to look to alter this. This problem does not occur in Firefox or Safari, only Explorer, and as Explorer is the most popular browser, I would like to fix this. Any ideas?
Thanks

I updated my signature.

Thank you :) That is a known issue with a lot of scripts, I'm not sure if a z-index will fix it. Really depends on the script they used for the menu.

Re: Java drop down error...
 

That actually doesn't help, as it is the javascript they used, which is probably contained in another file. But you should probably take this up with the developer who wrote the JavaScript to begin with.
