Use position fixed instead of absolute:

.container1 {
    position: fixed;
    z-index: 1;
}
.container2 {
    position: fixed;
    z-index: 2;
}

Answer 2

Here is a proof of concept that, whilst works, does need to be tested across browsers (however I'm confident that it will work everywhere) and slightly refined.

The idea is to use JavaScript to monitor the window's scroll position and fix the appropriate content panel accordingly, giving the illusion that the new content is overlapping it when scrolling in to view.

In order to achieve the parallax effect with CSS only, all you need to do is use the CSS background-attachment property and set it to fixed and also add min-height

.parallax {
    /* The image used */
    background-image: url("img_parallax.jpg");

    /* Set a specific height */
    min-height: 500px; 

    /* Create the parallax scrolling effect */
    background-attachment: fixed;
    background-position: center;
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    background-size: cover;
   }
