Menu
I'm working on the navigation for this website and am having trouble with the dropdown nav.
Basically, I have overflow: hidden applied to the container that holds the navigation items so that the rollover effect works properly (the bottom of the nav item is 'masked' off); you'll see what I mean if you roll over the nav on the website.
For Products there is a dropdown nav. As the site in built in Business Catalyst (CMS), I don't have control over how the navigation items are nested, but I can obviously style them / target them with JQuery.
Is there a way to make the dropdown container within div#navigation ignore the overflow: hidden rule I have applied? I have tried setting position to absolute and playing with the z-index, but no luck.
Any suggestions to achieve the same result are also welcome.

We have a dropdown-menu that gets filled with suggestions when the user type (type 'c' in the search field to see). This dropdown-menu is currently hidden behind the menubar, because it has "overflow hidden". We can break out, if we remove the top:100% and set position to fixed .
It is because you are using position absolute. You cannot use position absolute with overflow hidden, because position absolute moves the targeted element out of context with the document structure.
overflow : hidden is a property which will make any text going out of your div as hidden i.e. it will not be shown on screen and will be clipped. overflow : auto will make scroll bar's appear if the text goes out of your div.
With the hidden value, the overflow is clipped, and the rest of the content is hidden: You can use the overflow property when you want to have better control of the layout. The overflow property specifies what happens if content overflows an element's box.
Solution: Remove position:relative; rule from box with overflow:hidden; and set it to one of her parent boxes. Then absolute boxes in the box with overflow:hidden; will ignore this rule. Demo: http://jsfiddle.net/88fYK/5/

overflow: hidden can't be overridden by descendent elements - they will always be clipped by the element with overflow: hidden.
