Why do all of the drop downs (select tags) disappear when help is displayed?

The boxover script used for popup help (as with most similar scripts) has problems with these tags.  Basically, if a popup touches a select, you won't be able to see the popup.  Fortunately, boxover has the ability to temporarily disable selects when the popup is displayed.
