The site I am creating contains windows that can be dragged around the
page (think desktop).  When one of those windows contains a SELECT
element, it always overlays all of the other elements on the page.
This is, of course, a problem with the windowing effect as the select
box appears above other windows.  This is only a problem in IE.

Per my research, the problem is due to SELECT elements being rendered
by the OS and not the browser itself and means that we cannot set the
z-index of the element.  The most promising solution I found online
involved using an IFRAME to hide the SELECT element when another window
floats over the one containing the SELECT.

It seems that this would be a fairly common problem, so I hope that
there may be a pre-existing solution to the problem or that the library
already contains handling that I have not found.

Any thoughts? Has anyone encountered this problem before?
