dhtml and certain elements that "float above" HTML elements - is there a JS cure?

[catchup]

I have a problem on my website like this one:
http://www.webreference.com/dhtml/diner/seethru/

on the next page they demonstrate the issues:
http://www.webreference.com/dhtml/diner/seethru/2.html

you will notice that the dhtml does not over ride the Text Area box. I was wondering...... is there a way one could treat a Text area box like like a list box, when the user clicks on a line in the text area box the whole line is selected? then maybe i can parse the box's info.

any ideas or suggestions, or all out wacky authoring ideas?
