CSS HasLayout IE7 Bug - Tried Zoom and overflow hidden

Problem I have tried many things to get the position: relative / absolute / fixed working in IE7. I can not work this out now.

.levelTwo is the element that has pos: ab and .levelOne is element that has pos: rel.

So the desired outcome will be any .levelTwo elements to be above/infront of any other elements. Currently they are sitting behind .levelOne a

Markup

    <!-- Bof Level One-->
    <ul class="levelOne">
        <li><a href="#">Basic IT Access <span>&#9658;</span></a>
            <div class="levelTwo">
                jamie
            </div>
        </li>
    </ul>

CSS

.levelOne {
    border-top: 1px solid #DDD;
    list-style: none;
    position: relative;
}

.levelTwo {
    left: 157px;
    position: absolute;
    top: 0;
    background: #FFF;
    height: 40px;
    width: 170px;
    z-index: 10;
    /*tried*/
    display: inline-block;
    *zoom:1;
    overflow:hidden
}
