[thelist] z-index issues in ie6 and ie7

[Chris Dorer]

Ok.  So upon further digging, i found that a MUCH simpler search was to look
on google with the search term "z-index ie bug".  One page that REALLLLLLLLY
helped was:

http://therealcrisp.xs4all.nl/meuk/IE-zindexbug.html

I then placed the element with z-index 5 in the same container as the
element with z-index 13.  I then made absolute positioning of the z-index:5
with finding the top and left x & y positions and multiplied them with -1.

Voila!!!!!
