IE and zindex problems

Question

I have an overlay on my page in cs, works fine in firefox but in IE, the zindex does not work properly, it puts the background above the select box... any ideas how to fix this?

Answer 1

Make sure to position your elements, the z-index property only work on elements with its position set to something else then static.

I suggest you set the position of the element to "position: relative;" using css, see also: http://www.brugbart.com/References/102/ - CSS: Position

Also remember to set the z-index of the Basement, I.E. The containing element, otherwhise it won't work.

This should solve your problem.

Answer 2

Setting the z-index should adhere correctly check the dom tree as the HTML also has to adhere to the nodes/tree
