IE z-index relative/absolute bug in list

Question

I have the following navigation where .topNav has position:relative and subnav has position:absolute. I cant get the sublist to appear over the main list due to z-index prob

Answer 1

Similar to answer by @Orhaan, setting a background property to the absolute element is the only solution that worked for me...

background-color: rgba(0,0,0,0);

Thanks Alex Leonoard

Answer 2

This did the trick for me. ;)
