Extend drop-down from a UITableCell to go over the cell height - ios

Question

In my table cells, there is a button that displays a drop-down menu when you click on it. The problem is, the drop-down menu exceeds the height of the cell and bleeds into the cell below.
In that case, if I click the item in the drop-down, it actually acts as I clicked the cell below.
I tried using the code below but it doesn't seem to work.
[super bringSubviewToFront:dropDown];
[super willMoveToSuperview:dropDown];
The function that shows the drop-down is defined in the custom class for the table cell:
- (IBAction)eventAction:(id)sender {
NSArray * arr = [[NSArray alloc] init];
arr = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:#"Hello 0", #"Hello 1",nil];
NSArray * arrImage = [[NSArray alloc] init];
arrImage = [NSArray arrayWithObjects:[UIImage imageNamed:#"apple.png"], [UIImage imageNamed:#"apple2.png"], nil];
if(dropDown == nil) {
CGFloat f = 100;
dropDown = [[NIDropDown alloc]showDropDown:sender :&f :arr :arrImage :#"down"];
dropDown.delegate = self;
dropDown.layer.zPosition = 1;
[super bringSubviewToFront:dropDown];
[super willMoveToSuperview:dropDown];
}else {
[dropDown hideDropDown:sender];
[self rel];
}
}
Any help is greatly appreciated!!
Thank you!!

Rather than being a case of views being on top of each other, I think it might be that the touch is being interpreted by the table cell below as well.
Try disabling user interaction in the table view when the eventAction is fired.
tableView.userInteractionEnabled = NO;
And then turn it back on when the drop down view is dismissed.
