IE Bug, Z-Index not working.

Lol, hit a wall last week, thought I wasn't gonna get through it, I found a bug in IE, well actually I've known this for a long time but haven't tried to fix it actually but this time I had to, so I stacked up all my knowledge and tried to figure out anyway, it took me at least 3 days to actually fix it, not fix it like FIXED IT, but found a loop hole, well to start with IE's Z-index is actually not working since, most of the reports where filed as early as 2004, well back to how I "fix" it, been trying to surf the net to find a fix, read most of em and I found out a work around that might actually work with my scenario. well if you place this tag

<!--[if gte IE 5.5]><iframe></iframe><![endif]-->

within your div it would fix the whole thing, weird eh?! well it worked! Somehow iframe's z-index was higher than dropdownlist or select control and if you let them render for IE but hid them within user's view then it will work!

Back to work again!

I'm back to work! Well another week of mayhem ;), I wonder what IE bugs will I found out this week, last week was a pain, it took me all my knowledge to nail down that bug, I did manage to fix it, well literally not fix it but manage to find a loop hole thanks to the internet. anyway, I hope I get a good challenge for this weeks task again. :)
