z-index and java applet in Firefox

[XgrinderX]

The setup - we have an application that was written as an IE based intranet app. We migrated it to the web a long time ago when IE was the 90ish% dominant browser in the market and just placed a message saying IE required. We've now updated the app with some new features however, they do not play nice with Firefox.....and of course it is not really reasonable to require IE any longer. So right now I am trying to at least make the app functional in Firefox even though it will be ugly. We are in the process of designing it from the ground up to be cross-browser compliant, but we need it to be functional now.

With that said - We have a main window with several IFRAMES that are hidden off the sides of the page. There are tabs on each side of the page that allow you to access these IFRAMES. Click a tab, the IFRAME slides over the page.

One of the IFRAMES contains another FRAMESET and the bottom page in the FRAMESET is a Java applet. When the IFRAME slides over the main page, there is a fixed width/height scrollable DIV on the main page. That little DIV is causing a grey box to appear over the top of the applet.....only in Firefox.

I have tried adjusting the z-index of the DIV (set to 10) and the IFRAME (set to 200) and that does not seem to help. I even set the z-index of the APPLET tag to 200 and that didn't work. I don't understand why this is happening. Can any one shed some light on this for me?

Without seeing the code, no. It could be any number of reasons.

Hmm, okay. Thanks for the reply. Let me see if I can work something up for show and see if that helps. Please check back some time tomorrow to see if I have posted a demo.

Thanks again!
