z-index issue with twitter bootstrap dropdown menu

Question

I m using twitter bootstrap dropdown menu in a fixed navbar at the top of my page   It all works fine but am having issues with the drop down menu items showing behind other page elements rather than in front of them   If I have anything on the page with position  relative  like jquery ui accordion  or a google chart  then the drop down menu shows behind it   Tried changing the z-index of the dd menu and of the nav-bar  but doesn t make any difference   The only way I can get the menu to sit above the other content is to change the content to position  fixed  OR z-index  -1   -but both of these solutions cause other problems   Appreciate any help you can give me   I think this is probably some standard issue with CSS positioning that I ve misunderstood  so haven t posted any code  but can do if needed   Thanks

Just realized what s going on   I had the navbar inside a header which was position  fixed    Changed the z-index on the header and it s working now - guess I didn t look high enough up the containers to set the z-index initially        Thanks
