My solution was to have an iframe in the page and put the calendar div
inside it.. they behave the same as the select lists, so they cover it up.

I just checked in an update for one of our cforms samples that reveals a

if placed just above a (multi-line) selection list (like done now) the
calendar popup seems to be kept behind that selection list...
anyone that has a clue what is causing this?
As others have said, it's an IE issue, and manipulating z-order
doesn't help. :-(
For our app we have added some javascript - just before the popup
appears, we do a collision check on all drop-downs on the page (we
don't use multi-selects, but it could be extended to include them).
Any that collide are hidden until the popup goes away. Originally we
just hid all drop-downs, but that was too noticeable.
If you want the code, let me know.
Incidentally Safari/Mac has the same issue with the scroll bars on
text areas (they always appear on top).
