Question

As i am working on jquery dropdown list for my games site. I got struck at one issue. My dropdown goes behind the wrapper div when i mouse over it on the dropdown. Can anyone tell me what’s wron with my code. See my sample code and image.

Code:

<div class="cat_btn">
                  <ul class="dropdown">
            <li><a href="#">Categories</a>
                <ul class="sub_menu">
                     <li><a href="#">Ben10</a></li>
                     <li><a href="#">Ben10</a></li>
                     <li><a href="#">Ben10</a></li>
                     <li><a href="#">Ben10</a></li>
                     <li><a href="#">Ben10</a></li>
                     <li><a href="#">Ben10</a></li>
                     <li><a href="#">Ben10</a></li>
                     <li><a href="#">Ben10</a></li>
                     <li><a href="#">Ben10</a></li>
                     <li><a href="#">Ben10</a></li>
                     <li><a href="#">Ben10</a></li>
                     <li><a href="#">Ben10</a></li>
                     <li><a href="#">Ben10</a></li>
                     <li><a href="#">Ben10</a></li>
                </ul>
            </li>
            </ul>
            </div>

ul.dropdown                         { position: relative; -webkit-border-radius: 5px;                   
                              -moz-border-radius: 5px; border-radius: 5px;}
ul.dropdown li                      { font-weight: bold; float: left; zoom: 1; background: #ccc; -webkit-border-radius: 5px;                    
                              -moz-border-radius: 5px; border-radius: 5px; /*width: 100px; height: 30px;*/}
ul.dropdown a:hover                 { color: #000; }
ul.dropdown a:active                { color: #ffa500; }
ul.dropdown li a                    { display: block; padding: 4px 8px; border-right: 1px solid #333;
                                      color: #222; }
ul.dropdown li:last-child a         { border-right: none; } /* Doesn't work in IE */
ul.dropdown li.hover,
ul.dropdown li:hover                { background: #F3D673; color: black; position: absolute; }
ul.dropdown li.hover a              { color: black; }

ul.dropdown ul                      { width: 220px; visibility: hidden; position: absolute; top: 100%; left: 0; -webkit-border-radius: 5px;                     
                              -moz-border-radius: 5px; border-radius: 5px; }
ul.dropdown ul li                   { font-weight: normal; background: #f6f6f6; color: #000; 
                                      border-bottom: 1px solid #ccc; float: none; -webkit-border-radius: 5px;                   
                              -moz-border-radius: 5px; border-radius: 5px;}
                                  /* IE 6 & 7 Needs Inline Block */

ul.dropdown ul li a                 { border-right: none; width: 100%; display: inline-block; -webkit-border-radius: 5px;
