Technically I\'m using fadeToggle() but they\'re cousins... basically my issue is that I have an absolutely positioned div which I am using slideToggle()<
I have the same issue, and I'd tried all this solutions and it didn't solve my problem...
What I did to solve it, was before calling the fade effect, I decreased the z-index for the element that was in front even with "lower" z-index... Than, I call the fade with the on complete function, so when my fade effect ends, and the z-index issue is automatically solved, I set back the z-index for the element I'd decreased at first.
