I am useing the superfish jquery plugin

If you view the superfish menu here: clicky

the drop-downs show correctly (above the main content) in Chrome, Firefox, Safari, IE6, IE7

But for some reason they fall behind the main content in IE8.

I already set the z-index for the superfish menu which IE7 wasnt working right until I did so, but it didn't fix IE8.

Am I missing something?

JQuery UI sortable is slow in IE8, but works good in IE7 and IE8 compatible mode

as seen on Stack Overflow - Search for 'Stack Overflow'
JQuery UI sortable (including demos) are slow in all IE8 I can test, but runs smoothly in IE7 and IE8 compatible mode. The more complex is a markup on the page, the more IE8 is slowing down (that's I can understand, the DOM tree became more complex). I'm using JQuery 1.3.2 and JQuery UI 1.7.2 (tested… >>> More
