Hi. I have a dhtml horizontal drop down menu written in javascript which obviously
drops down. The problem is that it always drops down beneath my java grid
applet. I tried z-ordering but the applet overrides the html layers. I really
do not want to move my grid applet so is there a trick I can use to get around
this? Also, I do not want to make the menu an applet either becuase the dhtml
menu does what I want right now. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.
BTW, this is being implemented in IE4+.

How about if you embed them both in DIVs or SPANs and then set the zorder on
those?
