Thanks, David. That worked. I was able to whittle it down to: *:first-child+html #content-wrapper, *:first-child+html #main-wrapper {z-index:10;}
Even the following is not required: *:first-child+html #content-wrapper #sidebar { z-index:-1; } ...and it actually works with just the main-wrapper reference, but the dimensions change slightly, so other fixes would be required in its absence. So thanks again; you've been very helpful with the several issues I've brought forth since joining the list. But could you please explain the logic by which this works, as opposed to just a direct reference to #main-wrapper?
