title: Bootstrap Dropdown Button within HoverCard
body: <p>I'm using <a href="http://designwithpc.com/Plugins/Hovercard/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">hovercard</a> to display a small profile card of a user. Within this hovercard I am attempting to include a Twitter Bootstrap dropdown button.</p>
  
  <p>The button is being included in the html and the css is working fine (along with the actual javascript to open the dropdown). The problem is that the dropdown's menu cannot be seen.</p>
  
  <p>Take a look at the image for a better explanation:
  <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/ylHHQ.jpg" alt="example problem"></p>
  
  <p>The 2nd example hovercard is the default result. As you can see, a small portion of the dropdown menu is being shown, but for some reason it is being hidden by the bounds of the hovercard box.</p>
  
  <p>In the 1st example, I've removed the default bootstrap css position option and the dropdown inherits a position of static. When static is used, the menu can be seen but it increases the size of the hovercard box.</p>
  
  <p>What I need to have happen, is when the carrot is clicked have the dropdown box/list open "on top" of the hovercard and not expand the hovercard's dimensions but instead have the dropdown act as it's own object with its own dimensions.</p>
  
  <p>As an aside - I have checked both z-index's of the hovercard and the dropdown and the dropdown's z-index is higher so that should not be the issue.</p>
  
  <p>EDIT:
  Actual example markup</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;div class="hc-preview" style="z-index: 0; "&gt;&lt;a class="profilecard hc-name" rel="hovercard" data-type="custom" data-width="370" data-url="/omega/ajaxProfile/ProfileCard?eid=1" href="/omega/profile/profile/view/id/1" style="z-index: 0; "&gt;&lt;img class="avatar thumb" src="/omega/images/1_darth-maul.png" alt="Avatar"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="hc-details" style="width: 370px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); display: none; background-position: initial initial; background-repeat: initial initial; "&gt;&lt;div class="s-card s-card-pad"&gt;&lt;link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/omega/assets/5583cf06/css/bootstrap-yii.css"&gt;
