Because of the fact that IE uses active x controls for its drop downs .. it is not possible to position a layer over a drop down. To get round this problem when the popup for the calender we hide all the drop downs in a screen while the popup is displayed.

How they work
By defining DropDownOptions within the DropDownTag you can create a dropdown
in HTML. You can substitute tokens within the label attribute.
You can also only define the DropDown tag and populte the dropdown options
from the form bean.

Controlling the look of the Dropdown by CSS
The drop down widget's corresponding CSS can be found at 'source/html/jaffa/css/widgets/dropdown.css'. This CSS allows you to change these two elements option and select.
