Problem with datatable overlapping dropdown menu.

dabidski

For some reason my dropdown menu is behind the data table.
to visualize it easier here's a screenshot, http://i39.tinypic.com/s2dvuf.png.

I tried assigning z-index using $('#element').css('z-index') on both elements but nothing changes.
I want the slidedown menu to be always on top. You guys know how to fix this?

Nevermind, my mistake was that I assigned the z-index on the wrong classes.
