IE6 z-index workaround or is there another way to achieve the same affect?

How can I fix the z-index problem in internet explorer 6?  My website looks great in more recent browsers and I really need the z-index to work in IE6 as well.  I've exhausted Google and am hoping someone has a quick workaround.  Thanks

I have a logo that lays on top of a horizontal bar that I want to expand to 100% width of the screen.  As well as that I have dropdown link inside of a layer that needs to be on top of the content so that you can see the dropdowns.  

It's just frustrating, because it all looks great in Firefox and most other version of IE, except for IE6.  
The z-index attribute is supported by IE6, so there must be another problem w/ your CSS.
Can you give more info?  a link?  the code + css?
z-index is not supported by IE6.  If you have it working please post your code and a link.  

Here's a pretty good tutorial for dealing with z-index in IE6:  http://www.aplus.co.yu/lab/z-pos/

I should add that the same can be achieved in the above example by removing the positioning from #container altogether.

#container {}
Sorry it took me so long to respond.  I really appreciate the response.  I did have to use the #container {} with the z index of 11 set inside of it.
