The > <select> tag shows through the absolute positioned div I believe that depends on which browser you are using. If I remember correctly, some browsers utilize the operating system to draw some of the widgets, like your select boxes. Because the operating system is unaware of the browser's "layers" it draws your select box on top of whatever your browser puts there. If I am correct, I don't see what you can do about it. On the other hand, I want to ask why you would want to draw over the top of something that a user may be using to input data?
