Why doesn't Z-Index in IE render the way it's supposed to over a Flash Movie?

I am working on a site with two absolutely positioned divs... the logo and the menu (navbar) IE is burying them both, even after multiple tries of z-index manipulation. Why can't IE work as well as Firefox or even Opera for God's sake? UPDATE....... I forgot to mention that these divs are positioned over a flash movie. How could I pos...

However, the popup speech appears under the neighbor div in IE7 — I can not make it to appear under it (see the shots). I tried to play with z-index at different spots with no success.

Hello, I'm attempting to code Box and Whiskers graphs in html. The issue is, I have borders around a div (as in, the Box), but these borders disappear when overlaying the previous layer, which contains a banded color image.

Java Swing - how to show a panel on top of another panel?

I wish to have an internal (non window) dialog to ask for member input. I would like the dialog to be placed centrally on an existing JPanel. I have looked at layeredpanes and these seem unusable due to only having a single layout manager (or no layout manager) across all the panes. I guess I could try to override JLayeredPane and provi...

Is it possible to z-index a nested DIV higher (display 'above') then a root DIV in IE7?

UDPATE!!! Suggested answer is NOT correct, my mistake. The #container DIV should've had "float:left;". Please verify the HTML in Firefox and IE7. You can see the difference! I can't get a nested DIV to display above a hierarchically higher nested DIV by using z-index... The overlay keeps laying over the lower nested DIV even though the...

How can you figure out the highest z-index in your document?

In order to set a div containing a transparent text image as the highest z-index in my document, I picked the number 10,000 and it solved my problem. Previously I had guessed with the number 3 but it had no effect. So, is there a more scientific way of figuring out what z-index is higher than that of all of your other elements? I trie...
