Dropdown is not visible if displayed in modal dialog with z-index above 500

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Create a form with simplemodal plugin (or on a div with z-index > 500)
2. Click drop-down
3. Drop-down is not visible.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect to see the dropdown checklist, but it is hidden.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
0.7, Firefox 3.5, IE 8, Windows XP

Please provide any additional information below.
Patch is supplied.  Patch computes maximum z-index of parent containers and
adds 1 to ensure the dropdown list is visible above the parent containers.

next 
version.
