Issue with jQuery outer menu with SmartGWT

[sujaydutta]

We need to display a client specific jQuery outer header footer in our SmartGWT application. The outer jQuery header has a dropdown menu when we hover over their component, however the dropdown menu doesn't show up. Is there any issue with SmartGWT and jQuery menu?

We are using GWT 2.4 along with 3.0p-062512 nightly, and the external jQuery is based on jQuery 1.3.2.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Sujay

To work around various browser issues, SmartGWT uses a very high zIndex range by default. Using a zIndex of 1000000 (1 million) for your jQuery-generated menu should be good.

Thanks Isomorphic, we will let the client know since they control the navigation components. Is there anything we can do within our SmartGWT content area?

No, we use high zIndexes to work around browser bugs. If you tried to lower the zIndexes we use, it would reintroduce the browser bugs.
