Jquery slider pointers not working inside a css flyout menu

I have a css flyout header menu and I also want use the jquery slider widget as one of the options in this menu but when I put it in there the little sliders don’t appear correctly, it’s like they’ve collapsed. Or they’re hidden or something.

I thought it might have something to do with the z-index because some elements in the flyout header have index’s but having changed the index on the slider that didn’t help,

can anyone help me out?

sorted it! In case anyone else has the same problem:

I changed
div#dropMenu > ul a {
width: auto;
}

to

div#dropMenu > ul li > a {
width: auto;
}
