Another IE6 quirk learned today
“It was about 1 year ago that Coalesys released the first WebMenu 2.0 beta. At that time we began demonstrating a technique for overlaying windowed controls in Internet Explorer.
In case you don’t already know, windowed controls in IE will always cover DHTML layers. That means if you have a DIV that pops up or floats on the page and it intersects with a windowed control (such as the common SELECT box), the windowed control will obscure the DIV, no matter what zIndex you have set for each element.”

So IE6 renders select boxes as window controls. Why, oh why am i not surprised anymore…
