Currently, only the gecko rendering engine works around this. The problem arises from the fact that most browsers use their parent operating system to draw form elements. These in essence are drawn on top of the web page and aren't considered to be part of the web page. Gecko creates the form elements itself, so it does have control over the placement. Unfortunately, Gecko isn't quite as popular as IE......yet.
