Hello,

This is a very puzzling question i have...I have a website in which i have javascript created pop up menus (created by FW) and i have a web page that contains an <iframe>.

My problem is...the <iframe> seems to be "covering" the pop up menu. I tried "uping" the z-index but it still doesnt work...how do i over come this scenario?

Quite simply, you can't. Externally loaded documents and Active-X/plug-in elements at the moment ALWAYS sit highest on a page. The same thing will happen if you try to have a dhtml element drop in front of a Flash movie: the Flash movie is always on top. There are cheats in Flash to make it sort of work but none that I know of for iframes.

you can set theposition of your pop up menu so if your iframe is covering only the middle of the screen.. make it pop on the upper left corner..
