In this case the problem had nothing to do with z-index (the z-index on the horizontal-menu div isn't needed). I don't know why position: relative solved the problem - another IE mystery.

Cheers! You're a star. I removed all the position relatives and it fixed the problem.

I just presumed with the OP stating it was a z-index issue, and you fixing the issue by removing the position, meant it was a z-index issue.

I was able to correct this by removing the position: relative on the content div's. Not sure if that will cause other problems for you - it looks to be okay in IE 7/Win and FF/Linux.
