RE 2: cforms: date element not on top!

["Carlos M. S. Bento Nogueira" <cm...@student.dei.uc.pt>]

Hello!
Just found some answers to my own questions i would like to share with 
you.

When building cocoon, a cocoon-forms-block.jar is built. This file 
has a resources directory where one can find most of css and js files
that appear on ht http requests...

I've already added the z-index: 100; to the forms-calendar.css on
src\blocks\forms\java\org\apache\cocoon\forms\resources\css
but even after a build, and having checked that the css inside the jar is 
changed, the date element doesn't appear on top.

As an aditional note to the problem, i must add that this date element
is being called inside a table.

TIA,
CN
