Well, mainly because I thought there was a chance it wasn't a z-index 
issue at all, I didn't personally notice any change crossing from ff2 to 
ff3 (but I now see that is because I have other z-indexed items already 
in all my sites) - However, when debugging any kind of css issue I 
always look to ensure the markup validates first, because in most cases 
that has been a root cause, or at least helps one locate it quickly - it 
was just a suggestion.

Nope, I don't tend to keep them around ;)  - but I have encountered 
things I "thought' to be z-index related that turned out to be a markup 
problem and had nothing to do with z-index. Again, just thought it would 
help to sort out the problem.

sorry... I really appreciate all the help I have received on this list 
and was just trying reciprocate.
