Javascript flyout menu and embedded PDF's

[mjcocat]

I am stuck at a dead end, and I am looking for suggestions.

I have developed an intranet site using a javascript flyout menu for navigational purposes. Our site requires us to display many PDF documents. I realize I can open the PDF's in a new window, but for simplicity to the end user I want them to open in the same window. I found I can embed PDF's as OBJECT's but then my new problem is the javascript menu drops behind the PDF. Supposedly this is unfixable.

Does anyone have any suggestions to accomplish what I am trying to do here without opening PDF's in a new window?

Thanks for all of your help.

:edit: hmmm, maybe not...

just a stab in the dark here, but could you change the z-index of the div for your flyout menu so as to place it atop the pdf?

I wish, but an object is a browse behavior which will always be ontop of any html element.

May sound drastic, and i hope someone else has a better answer, but mod your menu to be in a new chromeless window, which moves over and back off the main page. I know it sounds like a pain, but it is doable. Anybody else?
