Overlap Applet with other html element (Slightly OT)

Is there any way to make a <div> section
overlap the (windowed) content of a java Applet?

I'm asking this, because JavaScript menus usually
ends up beneath Applet windows...

No.


Absolutely no way?
Not if I beg, swear & cry?
No dirty tricks?

Not even if I limit myself to IE 6.0 UA's?

TIA...

In general no.

The applet lives in a child window of the browsers client window (what you
consider the viewport). This child window lives in front of its parent and
so is immune from anything happening in its parent, in particular it can
not be overdrawn by anything the parent draws (unless the parent switches
off clip clildren which browsers do not). This is how Windows[tm] works.

Ah, then you would be better off asking in a Micorsoft specific group.

Depending on the browser it might work or might not work to put the div
in an iframe and apply CSS z-index and positioning to both the iframe
and the applet so that the iframe sits on top of the applet.

IE 5.5/6 on Windows allow you to create chrome less popup windows where
the content is defined by HTML, I think these would sit on top of
applets but haven't tested.

Here are the source code files to a Java applet that utilizes LiveConnect to communicate with Javascript, and the HTML file. The thing works both in IE 6.0 and FireFox 1.4. but with some problems. IE crashes when one refreshes the page or leave the page. This happens only after calling the Java method more than once. It does not crash if the Java method is called just once and then the page is refreshed. FireFox does not crash at all...

I find it interesting and potentially *very* useful and would like to know more, so if anyone can answer any of the following questions that would be great: - ...
