Set Div on top of all other divs. (Does not work in IE, does in FF and O)(Please Help 2nd shot)

Hello All;

I am closing out another post that is dead about this issue. And posting this one, in hopes that I will have enough information this time to get some positive results from everyone who ventures in.

The page has Dynamic content read from a DB (Access in this Demo / SQL Server 2005 in real-time LIVE)

When you click on the [Image](s), the hidden Div is shown.
Click on the same image again to HIDE the div.

Now, in FF and Opera
The Div's are on top of all other div's on the page.

In IE6, 7, 8
The Div's are below all other Divs on the page.

--------
Now, in the code it is set
float: left;

Now, if I set it to
float: right;

The Row you are on the Div's wil be on top, but the rows above and below
The divs will be on the bottom.

----------
I have both demostrated in the images below. (The link and code are: Float:left; )
I need this fixed so that in IE, it works. And preferably, working with
float: left;

Thank you all for any and all help that you can give me on this.
This little IE BUG (Thanks M$) is going to be the death of my site if it is not fixed.

There's significant differences between your original solution, as provided in example.html in the archive you've linked and your current solution, as provided by the linked page. The difference in this matter being quite crucial. From my perspective of the CSS2.1 standard, IE6 and IE7 are rendering correctly, it's all the other browsers that are wrong. This is due to a change in attitude concerning z-index.

Z-index, according to the spec only works between elements that are contained within the same 'positioned' container. In your old solution the dropdowns were separate elements from your 'container'-elements and as a result they could effectively get a higher z-index, no-matter the state of the (positioned or not) of the containers. In the new solution the dropdowns are children of the containers and the containers have position: relative. As a result, according to the spec, the z-index you assign to the dropdown only applies against other elements contained by the 'container', that is the img-tag. The containers all get an equal z-index anyway and as a result are getting their z-index in order of appearance.

When I tested it, all I needed to do was remove position: relative from the container-element and it seems to work just fine. I can see no apparant reason for the containers to have a relative position, but should you need it, I suggest expanding your script (the one that toggles the drop-downs) to also raise the z-index of the container-element temporarily while setting the display: block on the dropdown.

    display:inline;
	z-index:100;
	position:absolute;
