On my web site I have ads gernerated by Javascript and my menu which is also
generated by Javascript. When my Javascript opens my menu the menu is supposed
to have a z-index of 5. The problem is that the ad (which should have a z-index
of 0) takes focaus from the menu and makes my menu dissapear. This does not
happen in IE.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Go to the URL provided
2.Move the mouse over either "site Stuff" or "NES/SNES" to get the menu to apear
3.Try to select an option from the menu that is over the ad

Actual Results:  
The add takes focaus over the Menu layer

Expected Results:  
The menu layer should stay showing over the ad since it has a z-index of 5

Are you using the Japanese version of windows and/or trying to open file by
double clicking it when it is inside a folder that has a japanese name in
kanji/katana/hiragana?

Now using Firefox 1.0.6 and still haveing this issue. Can it pleased be fixed?
How am I supposed to justify telling people to use Firefox over IE when FF does
not work on my site but IE does?

I have the same issue in FF too.. and not just with your site..

I'm using on a drag and drop script on my site (not public yet), which sets the 
z-index of the element being dragged, above everything else. This works in IE6, 
but not in FF.

I tried hard coding the z-index into the CSS, so that certain elements would 
always be on top, and still it does not work.

When you drag the element, it goes above some items on the page and behind 
others, depending on the order that element was defined on the page. For 
example the top left table on the page will have a higher z-index than the 
bottom right, regardless of whether z-index is set.
