[mapserver-users] ROSA and Z order

[Hankley, Chip]

Zoltan -

I've experienced the same thing, and have never been able to get around it.
I'm not a DHTML guru... so I'll pass along this link which offers a somewhat
plausible explanation:

http://www.echoecho.com/ubb/viewthread.php?tid=175&pid=634#pid634

  "Applets will always be on top of layers

   All active visible content ignores z-index 
   values and will be above "normal" content. 
   (The one exception from this rule is Flash  
   Movies embeded with wmode-setting).

   The only workaround for applets is to position 
   the applet itself in a layer, and then turn that 
   layer invisible when you need to show something 
   on top of it."

Subject: [mapserver-users] ROSA and Z order


Hi,

I tried to use ROSA applet with a javascript menu.
Unfortunately the menu always above all of things
except the map image. In the menu config I can
set the z order of the menu layer but the menu
always under the map image.
I tried to use <applet style="zIndex:[x];" ...>
but nothing changed.
Does anybody know how can I set ROSA's z order?
Or other ideas?

Thanks,
Zoltan
