form fields above dropdown

i've got a bit of a problemo...

take a look at this site:

its an actinic development but the bit in question is the flyout menu, it works great, in all browsers, except for the fact that if you go to a product with dropdown options, then use the flyout menu, the actual form dropdown appears over the top of the menu...

any ideas why this happens? tried setting the z-index high but no difference...

Its a problem with the way some form fields are implemented with a fixed z-order meaning it doesnt matter what z-order you set in the menu div, the form field will always display over the top. I remember seeing several work arounds some time ago and think the best one involved sticking an iFrame under the menu div as this is not affected in the same way and appears over the top of form controls. I will try and dig out the URL if you like.
