IE7 / IE8 z-index problem

Answer 1

IE has problems with z-index. Most browsers treat the page as one continuous stacking context, but in IE, positioned elements generate a new stacking context, starting with a z-index value of 0.

As mentioned in this article:

try giving the calendar's parent element an even higher z-index.

Answer 2

Thanks Jason. I had the same problem in ie8 as well and I was confused when setting a higher z-index for the tag in question wasn't working. And then I tried your mentioned method and set a high z-index for the parent element containing the misbehaving element in question and wallaa~, it's working now, super!
