I have a division in which there is an image. This serves as a notification image.
When i Click this image,a panel appears which shows the different notifications.

But the problem i am facing is that the panel which is inside a division, cannot be overlaped over other elements present on the screen.It is something like a facebook notification center, where on clicking the friend request button, a panel appears down and it overlaps the chat panel and the wall.

Can somebody please help me with this.!!

Thanks!
