um..... ive tested this on kmeleon so i guess it should work in all gecko based browsers etc etc... but IE displays the selct infront of the div... dispite the z-index should have the div at the front

i expect you've already tried this but hey...

<div style="position: absolute; z-index: 100; background-color: #FF33CC; left: 20px; top: 20px; width: 100px; height: 100px">
 
</div>

<select style="z-index: 2;">
<option>Option</option>
<option>Option</option>
<option>Option</option>
<option>Option</option>
<option>Option</option>
<option>Option</option>
<option>Option</option>
<option>Option</option>
</select>

:/

hmm... is this for your eula?

you could hide the select boxes when the window comes up. would that work?

yeah, that's what i'd suggest too. you cant get layers to go over select boxes ( used to be a couple of other things too, but they're being slowly resolved ) in IE. try messing with the select-box's visibility when the menu comes up.
