Neither z-index or CSS will help. The only thing I''ve found that will
help is to
detect if the browser is IE6 or less (IE7 doesn''t have this problem)
and then
insert an iframe under your element of the same size as your element. This will
hide the control.

I know browser sniffing is usually considered bad, but if there''s a way
to find
out if the browser has this problem without sniffing type and version number,
I''d like to know.
