A: 

Set the z-index of your the_menu selector to a high number - like 9999. That should take care of it for you.

z-index alone won't cut it; with regular positioning, the div will still affect normal flow. Only fixed or absolute positioning will keep it from influencing normal flow.

Also, z-index has no effect on statically positioned elements.

Use position: absolute; on the dropdown.

A: 

To have it positioned on top of other elements, you need to use

.the_menu{
position:absolute
}

If you have trouble positioning it, give position:relative to whatever element contains .the_menu

Also be aware that z-index works well with absolutely positioned elements, if you run into the problem of having it show up behind something else.
