For javascript at least, it's impossible (afaik) to render
anything on top of select boxes.  I believe there are workarounds
involving hiding the select box layer when wanting to display a 
java[script] menu that might go over it.

This is mainly why that DHTML menu hasn't made it into IMP
yet; finding a clean way around the form z-order problem.
