I am developing for an existing web application on an internal server, I cannot really publish all the code here, since it is very very dirty, but I can show you guys a screenshot of the problem and the corresponding css code:

The language menu should be on top of the blue rectangle, but instead it is lower.
It works fine in FF, this is IE7 screenshot
css blue frame:
.categoryBox {
width:100px;
background-color:#000;
border-style:solid;
border-width:1px;
border-color:#007CF7;
padding:5px;
float:left;
height:260px;
margin-right:25px;
margin-bottom:20px;
text-align:center;
width:200px;
position:relative;
}
css language menu:
#ChooseLanguageDlg
{
display: none;
position: absolute;
width: 87px;
height: 180px;
padding-left: 10px;
padding-right: 10px;
padding-top:0;
margin-top: -9px;
border: none 1px White;
left: 751px;
top: 10px;
font-size:11px;
overflow:hidden;
text-align:center;
}
Note. The languages menu uses the javascript switch to show / hide.
EDIT:
Adding a z-index to a language field does not change visibility in IE
