Akella -
Thanks for the insight about the element vs. parent positioning issues of IE. I fiddled a bit more using your example and have found that it works fine with a simple position:relative, z-index: 80 for #navTopDrop in my ie-only stylesheet; apparently no need to position or z-index #wrapperSide. Thanks again for your assistance!

The problem with IE's z-index, is that you should try to change it not for "elements i've got stacking problem with" (in your situation it is menu links and drop downs), but for their parents. It is for you id="wrapperSide" and id="navTopDrop" Try something like this: #wrapperSide{ position:relative; z-index:25; } #navTopDrop{ position:relative; z-index:83; } I cant test it now.. but AFAIK it should do the trick.

Everything looks fine in FF, but in IE (6 and 7) when you trigger the "Section 2" drop down, the menu slips BEHIND the anchor text in the side navigation - it doesn't slip behind the UL or LI's, just the anchor text... hummm. To see the nightmare in action, please go here: http://www.koisis.com/.framework/-public/index.php and hover over the menu trigger labeled "Section 2" I thought that this would be a "simple" stacking/z-index fix (silly me), but I've fiddled around with this "solution" for hours to no successful solution. Anyone care to thrown in a suggestion or two? Any and all guidance greatly appreciated!
