Description
Although the z-index is set to 100 in my css file, the div using facebox still displays underneath and h1 using SIFR. Has anyone else had the same issue?

Plugins don't play nice with being overlaid in general, and since SIFR is an implementation of the Flash plugin, it doesn't play nice either. There might be a way to set the SIFR to run in flash's transparent mode to get around this.
Transparent Mode: Transparent mode allows the background of the HTML page, or the DHTML layer underneath the Flash movie or layer, to show through all the transparent portions of the movie. This allows you to overlap the movie with other elements of the HTML page. Animation performance might be slower when you use this value.
I dont' know if what you have is a legitimate bug, or a plugin/flash issue. Implementing transparent mode in SIFR would be a good place to start to fix the problem.
