Description

This pretty standard stuff, IE 6 (and earlier) has its z-order issue, where the popup menu from a select list is always ordered in front of anything else. The standard technique is to temporarily hide
the select element while obscured by the popup bubble.

I've tested with IE 7 and this is not an issue (though IE 7's PNG support is not as good as Firefox's, so there are some minor graphic glitches while animating fade-in and fade-out).
