Sliding Menu, over an APPLET

[wsharad]

Hi,

I have got a requirement. In my application, i have a JSP which includes an Applet. On top of that i have a Menu option, on click of which a sliding menu comes up. The problem is, the menu goes behind the applet, it's not coming in front of the Applet screen. I tried using z-index property also but it didn't worked.

Can anybody please help on the same. It's really urgent.

Thanks in advance.

Without the complete html and css or a link, we can only guess.

hi,

thanks for replying..... I tried making the style as abosolute for both the div's; & then tried using z-index, it didnt wrkd .... Well here goes the basic div tag for the same...

This one is the code in a jsp file calling the applet..

<div id="msgarea" style="height:663px;"><applet codebase="/"</applet></div>

The other code is in a diff jsp which should draw the menu over the applet..

<div id="inq"
 style="position: absolute; left: 369px; top: 71px;display:none;; width: 136px; height: 148px"
    onMouseOver="dropmenu('showit','inq',this);dropmenu('hide','tools',this)"
    onMouseOut="dropmenu('hideit','inq')">
<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>

Any help, i'll be really thankful....

Have not tested but some notes:
1) Absolute positioning removes the element from the normal flow which I'm wondering might be causing this.
2) <applet> has been deprecated so you might want to look into using <object> instead.

See if relative positioning solves the problem but I'll look into it when I can later.
