how can i mask an iframe in crappy netscape?

[iostream71]

i have a page that has an iframe in it. i want to use a div to mask the area containing the iframe, but in netscape, it always shows under the frame. any way to fix?

You may need a layer to do this as Netscape does not support layering with DIVs. The Netscape layer tag has a ZIndex property I think you can set to put it above your iframe.

I believe netscape also handles style display. Have you tried changing the style.display = "none" with a client side script?

thanks, i'll give those ideas a try. i was able to hide the iframe by putting it in a div, and making the div not visible, but it's kind of backwards of my other method

well, i tried the layer tag, but ns6 doesn't support the layer tag

the idea of hiding works fine if i just want to hide it, but i want to be able to ease a mask over the iframe, creating a scrolling in/out look

i just said screw it and did it in flash. 10 times easier and looks way better
