Themes

Here's an interest puzzle: I made a new theme that uses a vertical phplayersmenu at the top of the left column. The menu works fine for all pages in Opera and Internet Explorer. But in Firefox, the menu's subframe (which has a background-image) appears to be below the page content of the wikitext div of wiki pages only. That is, anything within the wikitext div is displayed on top of the menu's borders and links, etc. (so there's text displaying on top of text). The pagetitle and description are below (covered up by) the subframe, as is all content of all other pages, including blogs, forums, galleries, etc. Only wiki pages' wikitext is displaying incorrectly on top of the menu subframe.

The phplayers subframe has a z-index of 1000, which should ensure that it displays on top of all other page content. Why does Firefox act like the wikitext div has an even higher z-index? I'm used to seeing high z-index layers appear to be under iframes/input gadgets and the like, but this is the first time I've seen one slide under a Tiki div.

I've tried giving div.wikitext a low z-index, but it doesn't help. Any ideas?
