DateField calendar widget is obscured by other form fields

Question

See image below.  This is an HTML form with the datefield expanding calendar.  Unfortunately, the calendar is showing up below other form fields. Is there any way to fix this?  This happens in IE but not Firefox (and telling people to just use Firefox is not an option).

Answer 1

Since this widget is built into ColdFusion (starting with CF8), I was hoping that someone had encountered this before and had a workaround that was compatible with the ColdFusion tag.  I briefly tried the iframe method but could not get it to work.  If someone has an example of this working alongside the ColdFusion generated calendar, please post it.
Whether it's generated by a built-in CF widget or not, it's still just mark-up and CSS, and still suffers the vagaries at the hands of the browser rendering it.
Is the problem you're seeing the one mentioned in those Google results, ie: it's IE 6 that's causing the problem?
When you werre trying to get the iframe solution to work, did you just try to slap it into your existing code, or did you create a simplified test rig to prove your solution before applying it to the somewhat more complicated "live" code?  Taking small, simple steps with unfamiliar territory is generally the best approach here.
And if you have a simplified test environment, post your code so we can have a chance at making an informed comment as to where you're going wrong
And - other than a passing mention of failing to get the iframe thing working - you still haven't actually said what you've tried already to get this working.
