Is this an incorrect way of accomplishing that? I believe if an element is going to have children that are at different z-indexes within it, then that parent element's display should be "block" to start a new block level? I don't remember where I read this but I believe that is what I read. Could be mistaken. No time to research atm unfortunately, so hope its not a goose chase.
