forms & SVG

hello,

I've been working on an SVG navigation bar. Everything works 
inside the SVG works fine, but I wanted to put an input field inside 
a form element on top of that in the HTML in which the SVG is 
embedded. Surprise: it workd if I put a select element (i.e. a drop-
down menu) but not if I want a simple input field. I tried with all 
sorts of bizarre combinations between z-indexes, positions of div 
and such but nothing works. Do any of you know how to get round 
this problem? Is there anyway to put the form inside the SVG file 
with an XHTML namespace? Any help would be, well... helpful. 
Thanks!

Antoine

p.s. I attached the HTML document so you can see what I'm on 
about...
