Java and Javascript ZIndex problem
We have a series of Java Applets on an HTML page, which loads with no problems.
We have added a button as such onclick="ShowClipartPanel();"' which then shows another panel (containing clipart in this case).
The problem is that the new clipart panel is hidden behind the Java Applets.
The Clipart panel has a set zIndex ClipartPanel.style.zIndex = 10000;', and we've added a z/index:2 to the DIVs of the main Applets, but this hasn't helped - any suggestions?

Have a look at this thread. Does this help at all?

This seems similar to what we've tried, except that they've used divs absolutly positioned within a parent div whereas ours are seperate - but I don't htink this will make any difference.
The effect we want is similar to a pop-up window, rather than replacing (or effectly covering completely) the other/original content.

Yes, looking deeper it seems I am 'barking up the wrong tree', what he did differently is added the wmode=transparent:
so.addParam("wmode", "transparent");'Did you try doing that? The only other things I can suggest is seeing whether Java has an equivalent of 'wmode'. There's an interesting reference to wmode on the Flash for Linux blog:
So it seems wmode is what you're looking for. This site has some interesting information on the subject too.
