Menu Hiding behind pdf

Report · May 30, 2006

My dropdown menu that was created with DW is hiding behind the pdf on the page and some select statements
is there a way to set the z-index to have the menu drop down infront of the page

This is not a z-index issue. It's the fundamental difference between active
content and passive content, and it cannot be solved by jiggering z-indices.

But I don't think you can reliably embed a PDF file in a web page. Can you
show me what you have done, please?

<iframe id="pdf" name="pdf" src="../../ots/reports/<%=strReportName%>" >
</iframe>

It opens Acrobat reader in the IFrame. You are a dead duck. There is
nothing you can do (that is practical) to make content from the parent page
(the page that contains the <iframe> tag) display in the space allocated to
the PDF that is shown in the <iframe>. Sorry....

This someone is telling you that the someone who told you that had no
understanding of z-index. You can try more if you want, however. It is
just not a z-index issue.

You are asking how to make something work when it's just not going to work.
Sorry.
