z-index Problem? IE7/8

[muvipix]

Hello All,

I think it's a z-index problem. I have a dropdown menu that I'm trying to use with a (non-live/test) forum. The menu works perfect everywhere except with the forum (and only fails with IE). The images/text in the forum show through the sub-menus. You can see what I mean here - <snip> - I have the DIVs z-index set at 9999 to no avail.

IE7/8 See the problem (pic):
<snip>

In FF it works as it should (pic):

I don't know where to start to isolate this problem. Any help would be great.

Thanks.

To isolate you problem: capture the source code as it is given to the client on a problem page:

view source, and cut and paste into a new .html file

With that html, you can play and try without having to change your forum all to heavily.
The pinned post at the top of the CSS forum should give you the rest of the help you need ...

I totally understand the reason for editing my post, I apologize. I'll try your suggestion, thanks.
