Layers on top of applets

[MushroomVelouté]

Hi! I'm a newbie... So please don't speak too technical to me.

My problem:

I would like to give to my Cult3D applet (3D online viewer) some customized frame. This applet has an awfull rectangular shape. I first tryed to place a picture with an inner transparency on a layer with z_index greater than the applet, but it seems that applets have priority on other HTML elements.
Could somebody help me solving this problem?

Thanks in advance...

Thank you for your quick answer.

This is not exactly the solution. I need my applet to stay visible while a picture covers it. I need to see 3D animations below my transparent picture...

If I'm wrong with this post, please could you explain me exactly what I did'nt understand?

Thanks in advance.

Your problem is "but it seems that applets have priority on other HTML elements. "

The reasons for that is exactly what is dicussed in the other thread :)

Ok, thanks, I've seen it works with all windowed elements. But there is an exception... It seems that the applet Cult3D is different. I downloaded Mozilla and observed good results with the code given in the previous thread. I tried with Cult3D Applet --> nada. I tried with an applet Cult3D in a page in a layer below the layer with the transparent picture but... nothing...

DESPAIR!!!

Thanks in advance for any idea...

Just checking, how are you adding Cult3D to the page, with <object> or <applet>?
If you are using <applet> try <object>.

Dreamweaver set automatically the tag with <object>...
I don't know <applet>...
