What would make a html element e.g. an ul aboslutely positioned with a zindex of say 5000 to appear below a div of a lower zindex say 0? This behaviour is seen in IE8.

A:
Just because it has a higher z-index doesn't mean it'll be on top. You have to take into account the parent's stacking level and this becomes the stacking context. Try giving a non-static position ( relative ) to the parent of the 5000.
If that doesn't work, post the relevant HTML.

What is the content that is ending up on top? Youtube embeds for example will show on top http://wsmithdesign.wordpress.com/2010/10/07/jquery-drop-down/ unless param name=”wmode” value=”opaque” for object … and … wmode=”opaque” are added/
