This is really strange. When using Internet Explorer (v8.0) on the page below, if you hover over the navigation bar, the gallery disappears. If you hover over the 'Gallery' tab, it reappears. I added the 'tabbed' content, just to see if I could get it to appear and it does if I activate the tab. Without the tabbed content and just using the {gallery} tabs, the thumbnails disappear. It works fine in FireFox and Chrome.

Any ideas on what is happening? Other galleries on other pages don't have this problem.
I did some additional testing and the problem resolves around the SIG stylesheet setting shown below. If I remove this setting, then the popup is behind the navigation div but if I try to contain the gallery in a div with a higher z-index, then the pop-up is behind the gallery. If I set the gallery below the z-index in the SIG stylesheet, then the problem continues to occur. It looks like the 'overlay' is being considered by IE even though it is hidden until a thumbnail is clicked.
My solutions was to use the SIGPlus gallery which worked fine. ;D
I know the problem is the way that IE is handling the z-index settings but, so far, I have not found a workaround for IE.
When will Microsoft get on the W3G standards bandwagon? >:(
