#menu has checkboxes that do an onchange form submit.
#tabs is a jQuery enabled tabbed area.
#menu expands/collapses.
If I position #menu absolute, and it overlaps #tabs when expanded, then I get erratic behavior - sometimes the checkboxes don't maintain their state.
Is there a way to have the menu look like it's expanding over the tabbed area, but doesn't interfere? (I'm thinking iframe, or a popup or anything else).
