Is it possible to make an element to be always on top with jQuery? I could use z-index in CSS, but in Internet explorer 7 it works only with position:relative; and the position must be absolute. So maybe there is something what I can do with jQuery?

Now my jQuery file looks like:

$(document).ready(function(){

    $('#mainmenu li.item').hover(function(){
        $('.sub',this).show();
    },
    function(){
        $('.sub',this).hide();
    });
});

CSS:

#mainmenu li .sub{
    text-transform:lowercase;
    display: none;
    position: absolute;
    float: left;
    top: 31px;
    left: 0px;
    background:url("images/sub-menu-bg.png") repeat-x;
    z-index:6;
    padding-left:15px;
    padding-bottom:15px;
    padding-top:15px;
    width: 280px;
    color: #3e4f77;
    z-index: 4;
}
