I have a jQuery tools scroller set up with controls managing two separate divs of info - one images, the other related
text that needs to sit over the top of the images with a transparent bg image. I am using z-indexing to achieve this and am aware of IE's issues with this but am unable to sort it (tested in IE6-8). Image of the issue below:

It seems that the overlayed div is taking on the containers white. Try as I might, I can't resolve this. HTML/CSS code below:
<div id="content">
<div id="nav"></div>
<div class="s4 slideshow">
<div>
<img src="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/images/hero_1_white.jpg" width="770" height="367" />
</div>
<div>
<img src="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/images/hero_1_white.jpg" width="770" height="367" />
</div>
<div>
<img src="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/images/hero_1_white.jpg" width="770" height="367" />
</div>
</div>
<div id="overlay_bg"></div>
<div class="s4 information">
<div>

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
