Figured this out. This can be attributed as a bug to how ie handles z-index when you have absolute elements in the page. When Ie encounters an absolute or relative element then all z-index are relative to the parent's element in the div with (relative or absolute).
So to solve the problem, I set the parent z-index to a higher level for the element that needed to be higher and the z-index of the other element to a lower number. Vineet > I'm using a high zindex.
