iFrames and overlapping

[gmtimmons]

I think I know the answer to this and dont really want to but here goes.

I have a top level drop down menu that functions by creating a <div> tag and toggling visibility. On some pages I am using an iFrame to load PDF documents in and I am running into locations where the iframe overlays part of the menu when it is toggled to visible. I have fooled with z-indexes, transparency and anything else I could think of but I cannot get that div to appear over the iframe. Is it possible to do this?

Also this does not have to be cross platform, it's for company use only and the standard browser is IE5.5 or better.

The problem is that an IFRAME is actually another window object, and you cannot make an HTML object appear over a window that doe not contain that object.

Your choices are to either move something or make the IFRAME invisible while the menu is active.
