Guys, I have a really annoying issue. So i have java applet and css drop down, but when i hover over the tabs to get the dropdown effect, they go behind the java applet.

Is there anyway to fix this? This is really bothering me..

Ill think more later, late for college

Nope, that doesn't work with java applets. Thanks for trying though, appreciate it.

If Java applets work the same way as flash does. There is no way since they are rendered after the page using somethign like opengl.

Note, this is incredibly bad practice.. But

Place the applet in an iframe, which you include. Then with the iFrame set the z-index to 1 and with the menu or whatever, set it to anything larger. Like 50.

That should hopefully fix your issue?

Yes, there is a way to do it with flash.

and i'll try what you said bower

You could try placing the Java applet inside a div with a position: absolute and the z-index property.

"Creating layers with the z-index:
Elements must be positioned absolutely or be a descendant of that positioned element.
An element with a higher z-index appears in front of an element with a lower z-index."
