As others have pointed out because the Web Browser control is an ActiveX container that creates its own top level window that is synched to the application, you can't put anything on top of it.

The best way to deal with this is to create either hide the control when you need to display something on top, or if you want to get real fancy - whenever the control loses focus, capture the window bitmap content and display an image control with the content, then when focus returns back to he control make the control visible again.

FWIW, this is not just a fox problem - I've run into this same issue in .NET with WinForms and WPF where the WebBrowser control also doesn't play nice with other content on the form.

OTOH, I can't imagine many use cases where you'd want to display content on top of hte Web browser control. Another option is to display whatever content you want to display as part of the HTML view by doing an overlay in HTML and JavaScript and displaying that instead.
