FIX: IE7 Drop Down Menu Appearing Behind Other Elements

Better CSS Part 4: Naming Conventions

When you are giving names to your ids and classes use names that are appropriate and clear. If you had a class just called “wrapper” and someone else was looking at your CSS they would have no idea what it is used for or where it’s in use.
