Sorry - I obviously didn't phrase what I meant to say properly. I wasn't 
getting at you, but a company that believes that "CSS is a broken standard".
 
Your initial solution works quite nicely and this is the one I have started 
coding for. I don't want to use the title attribute, since I can't be sure how 
large a piece of text I will have to show.

The idea is a practial one, not one designed to defeat CSS. I'm pretty sure the 
individual z-indexes are needed to get IE to do what you want.

The anchor for each button can be given it's own ID (might as well be an ID as 
it will need to be unique) and then selectors/rules could be written for each 
anchor that set the different z-indexes. By the time you do that, you've 
probably written (or your program has) at least twice as much code as merely 
adding the z-index in a style attribute in the HTML. However, some will prefer 
the separation, so it's useful to mention, I suppose.

Cheers,
