Problem with CSS div layers with z-index over Select Option fields on I.E.6.0

Experts,

I have a layer that is supposed to be placed over Option/Select fields. It works perfectly on FireFox, but it doesn't work on I.E. The select fiels are over the layer... The other Input fields don't have any problems.

How can I fix this problem??

Thanks in advance.

Do you have any example code or a link to where we can see it in action? That would help a lot.

That is odd... It works on FF(1.5) and Netscape 7....

The problem is on IE, the payment select fields (drop down) are laid over the shield layer. I need to place the shield all over the content including the drop down selections.

jaqadeesh, what do you see when you look at the page?

The page should look that gray transparent layer over the payment form content. Over the transparent gray layer, white background with gray border. Then Title in red text and some text are in the very top white layer.

Thanks for looking into this.
