ie z-index problem

Hi there,
For some reason, my z-index is not working properly in IE. I want a layer to appear above the rest. It works fine in FF, but not IE.
This is my code:
Code:
width:200px;
position: absolute;
left: 750px;
top: 50px;
z-index: 1000;
background-color: #ffffff;
border: 3px solid #f6f6f6;
font-family: verdana; Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 12px;
color: #ffffff;
padding: 10px 10px 10px 15px;
line-height: 20px;

IE has a very bad Z-index handling and by looking at just this piece of code, I cannot determine the problem, because its the parent of this absolute positioned div that's causing the problem, not the absolute positioned div itself.
