If you have the #header and #background within a container, try giving this container a z-index:1<br />

Nice. Turns out the css you provided wasn't necessary; your explanation of the stacking hierarchy was something I didn't know. I just moved the header out of #wrap and everything fell into place. Thank you :D

Good to know my elaborate explanations sometimes make for better solutions than the fixes :)

In IE7 &nbsp;#header is displaying behind #background but should be displaying *above* #background. The stacking order is, I believe, correct. Works fine in IE8 and FF but I'm using a conditional style sheet for IE7.<br />

Internet Explorer Z-Index Bug

Web browsers are applications used primarily to display documents, files and media from the Internet, identified by a Uniform Resource Identifier (URI) that can be a page, image, video or other file. Some browsers require the use of add-ons or extensions to safely render the information they receive; others have systems built into them to perform the same functions.

Web Browsers

HTML (HyperText Markup Language) is the main markup language for creating web pages and other information to be displayed in a web browser, providing both the structure and content for what is sent from a web server through the use of tags. The current implementation of the HTML specification is HTML5.

HTML

Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) is a language used for describing the look and formatting of a document written in a markup language. Usually used to change web pages and user interfaces written in HTML, it can also be applied to any kind of XML document. CSS is designed primarily to distinguish the content of a document from its presentation.
