jQuery-UI's autocomplete not display well, z-index issue

Question

I'm currently implementing jQuery UI's autocomplete in my clients webshop. The problem is: the element the autocomplete resides in, has a higher z-index then the z-index of the autocomplete. I tried setting the autocomplete z-index manually, but I've got the feeling that jQuery UI is overwriting this.

In fact my question is a duplicate of autocomplete suggestion list wrong z-index, how can i change?, but since there was no answer I thought about giving it another try.

Any help is welcome!

Answer 1

Use z-index and !important

.ui-autocomplete { position: absolute; cursor: default;z-index:30 !important;}  

Answer 2

While searching I found this topic (http://forum.jquery.com/topic/alternating-style-on-autocomplete). Apparently the only way to change the style of the autocomplete box is by doing it through javascript:

    open: function(){
        $(this).autocomplete('widget').css('z-index', 100);
        return false;
    },

Answer 3

Change the z-index of the parent Div, the autocomplete menu will have the div's z-index+1
