IE z-index relative/absolute bug in list

Question

I have the following navigation where .topNav has position:relative and subnav has position:absolute. I cant get the sublist to appear over the main list due to z-index prob

Answer 1

Solution: assign z-index in decreasing order

    This has some more text in it. This also has a background. This should obscure the second block of text since it has a higher z-index.

This has some text in it. This has some text in it. This has some text in it. This has some text in it. This has some text in it.



This is the second div. You should not be seeing this in front of the grey box. This has some text in it. This has some text in it. This has some text in it. This has some text in it. This has some text in it. This second box should be obscured by the grey box.
