We all know that IE is full of bugs and just plain sucks as a browser… if you didn’t know that you can drop your geek badge off on the way out. So today I ran across the Z-Index bug in IE7.

Sometimes you’ve seen this behavior before: ![Screen shot 2010-05-13 at 12.15.21 PM.png](/images/Screen shot 2010-05-13 at 12_15_21 PM.png)

The fix is to give the parent of the element with a z-index a slightly higher z-index

<div style="z-index: 1000;">
<div style="z-index: 999;">Content Here</div>
</div>
