Hello again,

I tried increasing the z-index of your left buttons again to 15, and it
caused everything to work fine.

However, I notice that your layers are positioned using top and left
margins, rather than absolute top and left positions.  Did you write this
code by hand, or using an editor?  This seems to be a major factor in the
confused overlapping of your layers.
