if the other elements are dropdowns then this is a long standing design flaw
in IE. its been corrected in ie 7.
the problem is the actual dropdown controls (select) on on a seperate window
in front of the browser content window, so there no way with z-order to get
content in the main window on top of a select.
there are 3 common solution for pre ie 7:
1) make sure no selects are in the way.
2) when a flyout menu/ dialog is shown, turn off the display of selects
(this is how the ajax toolkit does it for popups).
3) create a dynamic floating iframe (which is a sperate window) and render
the flyout in it. (this is how the google toolkit does it for popups).
