Ok, I was wrong, it is working. I happened to be on a page where there
was another error having to do with the Superfish declaration that was
causing problems. Still working on that other issue with jQuery
conflicting with LightWindow (Joel has already responded to that
post).
As a side note, I did have to change the jQuery that you wrote ricardo
as a result of it not finding the li's for whatever reason. I changed
it to:
jQuery('ul.sf-menu').children('li').each(function(i){
jQuery(this).css({"z-index":30-i});
});
To grab the first level of children and:
jQuery('ul.sf-menu').find('li > ul > li').each(function(i){
jQuery(this).css({"z-index":100-i});
});
To grab the next level of children and so on. I also found that it
didn't reset the index if it was all one function which resulted in
getting huge negative values without setting the initial value to be
something HUGE. Suggestions for a way to easily limit that even more?
