Javascript and I-Frames Problem!

Another dilemma…I looked at the tutorial found here to base my structure on: I built a page here, however, I am having three problems:

1.The Z-Index is not moving the active tab forward and the others backward. Why isn't the Z-Index moving the active tab to the front, so it is actually "in front" of the I-frame border?

2. Is there a way that each of those windows can retain information so when they are clicked, and information you put in there will still be there when you click back? For instance, if I fill out a form field on New Dealers, when I click tab 3 (MSN) and leave New Dealers for a second, when I return to Tab 1 (if I do not navigate away in the first Tab), how can I ensure the information I typed will still be there? Would that be more of a php echo function or can I use javascript to handle it?

3. The first 2 tabs remain in the hover state when they are active, (which is what I want to happen) but the second and third do not...why?

You can see the CSS in my source code. Thanks so much for all the help thus far with this crazy project. You guys are great! I couldn’t have come this far without your guidance. Living in Northeast Arkansas, there are no good colleges or web professionals in the area to mentor me in my endeavors, thankfully there are many out there on the internet willing to help me and answer my questions so I can follow my passion and get better at programming. Thank you.
