IE shows CSSMenus behind FORM SELECT field

Hi,

In IE, my test page has a problem:

    http://www.imba-uk.com/index.php?page=join

In IE, the CSS Menu appears underneath the first form field if you select "About" / "Membership" etc.

Of course it's OK in Firefox.

Any ideas?  This is 0.13 with CSSMenu imported from 0.11 beta 1.

More info from Google...

It seems IE5 and IE6 are just hopelessly broken - well done Microsoft  >:(

The Z-Order stuff simply does not work for SELECT fields in FORM elements: the SELECT field is always on top of everything else, so your drop-down CSS menu will drop behind the SELECT field.

For my page, I think I can use radio buttons instead of one SELECT, then move the other SELECT to the right-hand side where it won't clash so much with the menu.

Yes - I gave up and used radio buttons instead!

Thanks.
