Why is the panel coming down behind the three columns?

Is it the css coding that is causing this?

here is the page source:

http://web-user.net/test/1/jquery-1.2.2.pack.js
http://web-user.net/test/1/layout.css

I am planing to apply this to a webpage I have been working on for a while but have not figured out all of the bugs yet.

If you add a z-index of say 10 to the dropdown panel it will stay in front of the columns

#dropdownpanel{ /*Outermost Panel DIV*/
position: absolute;
width: 100%;
left: 0;
top: 0;
visibility:hidden;
z-index: 10;
}
