java applet issues with inbox and alert dropdowns :: Jquery needed

[Rob]

Hiya,

Basically the same old damn issue with not being able to overlay content on top of java applets.

My main content contains a java applet (chat) which works well, however the inbox and alert dropdowns disappear behind the applet (kind of expected really).

I have tried methods of creating a shim but to no avail.

So, for this one page I would like to disable the drop downs on those two links - I am sure there is a jQuery method to cancel down the events on those two links but I do not know how.

Does anyone have any idea?

Thanks,

Rob

Try setting a z-index for your applet:
