How do you mean .. collides? Can you provide some code to show what you are doing?
HTML elements are set BY THE BROWSER to show up over things like DIV elements. You will often see this on the DHTML menus where the select box will show through the menu.
The workaround I see most is to hide the elements under the DIV.
Again, this is not neccesarily a problem with your code, but a browser 'feature'.

a select box has got z-infinity of infinity, (ie. they are not controled by the browser but the OS), therefore no HTML element can overlap a select box.
the only viable solution is redesigning that part of the page.
tough luck!

But still, I'ld rather have a redesign than see layers suddenly overlap form items.

This is true. There's not much you can do if the user is using Netscape 4.7 But newer browsers such as Netscape 7.0 and even as early as IE 5.5 (I didn't have Netscape 6 to test, but it might work for that too).
You are correct though, in older browsers, the only way the handle this is to hide the elements that are going to be covered.
