I don't know if this will help, but whenever I want to place any
element (div) on the top, I frequently obtain the current topmost
value of zindex and then add 1 to it.
currentMaxzIndex = $$("div").invoke("getStyle", "zIndex").max();
newTopmostzIndex = parseInt(currentMaxzIndex) + 1;
console.log(currentMaxzIndex + ", " + newTopmostzIndex);
On your page, I got values (2, 3). Apply newTopmostzIndex to the layer
before it morphs and it should work.
