[support] JQuery makes z-index useless?

I'm having a problem with z-index on an object. I don't use jQuery - I
know javascript quite well and don't see the point in learning another
way of doing it. But no matter what z-index I put this div at, elements
burn through it. I did some searching and the only hint I got was that
it may be something JQuery is doing, but couldn't find a fix. If I have
to put some JQuery in my page just to get the z-index working that's
fine but I'd rather not do the whole thing that way. If it's not JQuery
does anyone know what might be causing this behavior? I tested it on
various pages in the site, most of which have no custom javascript or
other strangeness on them but see the same behavior - z-index seems to
be completely ignored (including the default way of html working where
the last element is on top). Anyone else familiar with this?
very straightforward example below:
css:
#theOverlay{
height:1000px;
width:1000px;
top:0px;
left:0px;
background-color:#000;
z-index:100; /* i've tried every number here imaginable */
}
html (just before </body>):
<div id="theOverlay"></div>
