Calendar widget getting obscured by combo boxes in IE

Calendar widget getting obscured by combo boxes in IE People,

There’s a known bug in IE wherein lists and comboboxes do not obey z-index rules.  Therefore, when you try to display a div over a combobox, the combo always shows through.  This is impacting Orbeon in that the calendar widget gets clobbered by neighboring combo boxes when the calendar pops up in IE.  

Has anybody seen this and do you know of any work arounds to get around IEs broken rendering in this regard?

Thanks,

Jack

Yes, this can happen with the calendar widget we are using now
(jscalendar). We are planning to switch to the YUI calendar, which
uses some tricks to get around this issue in IE. If you feel like
doing this change yourself, please go ahead ;), and we will be happy
to integrate it in Orbeon Forms. If doing so you have any question,
feel free to ask them in this list.
