I'd suggest using your browser to "view source" to see if you can spot the actual HTML and CSS wrapped around the form elements in question. I would also suggest using Firefox and getting the web developer tools extension, will give you lots of tools to figure out what's going on and how it's styled.
Thanks for suggesting the obvious. ;) I live by the dev tools on FF. I always use them to attempt to discern what's going on.
FWIW, here's what I did to solve the problem:
As an experiment, I edited the drupal.css file to add a z-index on #autocomplete, and it fixed the problem. Well, that's not optimal as then I'd be re-editing that file with every update. Then I realized what I was doing wrong: I had added a position: relative to style.css (because afaik position is required for z-index settings), but drupal.css has position: absolute, and that was good enough for me. I deleted the override in the theme, and now autocomplete is working.
Thanks for the answer, though.
Now if only I could get sub-menus to work....
Best, Laura
