Each button/image anchor element will need its own z-index, starting with the
upper left. That one should be the highest. Each of the following anchors (in
source order) should have a lower z-index in order to display the way you
desire. As you discovered, z-index on the span did nothing for IE, the property
must be applied to the anchor elements. Adding the z-index in the HTML may
actually be the easiest way to go.
