That's a bug in IE 6. The only workaround is to use an iframe which is a bitch. In IE 7 they've fixed it. It has to do with the type of object that a drop down is considered to be. In IE 6, they decided that it was a window-level element (not the official term, but I can't remember that and it has the same characteristics as a window). As such an element, you can't put anything over it except another window-level element. That was just stupid on MicroSoft's part (as so much is) and that's why it's been corrected in IE 7. I'd recommend not stressing on it. Perhaps putting the popups on the page where you know they won't overlap with the drop down. I've seen some apps where they make all the drop downs disappear while the popup is there, but I think that's just as silly as the original error.

lol. Yeah, it's called IE 7. You weren't really expecting more from MicroSoft, were you? Check out this link for more info: IEBlog : For the SELECT few...
