Modal popup does not show on top of diagram if ClientSideMode="JavaApplet"

Hi,

I have a Print modal dialog that pops up and prompts the user for various print options.

This works fine if the ClientSideMode="ImageMap", but does NOT work if ClientSideMode="JavaApplet".  The screen is greyed out (disabled) as if the popup were present, but it does not show.  I have tired setting the z-index of the popup to 999999, but without success.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Jim

Hi,

The Java plug-in creates its own window and the browser cannot render html elements over it. You will have to show the popup in a new browser window.

I hope that helps,
Stoyan

Hi,

Since my initial post, I have switched to using a menu (using a Telerik control) that should drop down "on top of" the diagram.
This works in IE and FF, but drops down behind the diagram in Chrome and Safari.

Any idea why it works in 2 browsers, but not the others?

I've attached a screenshot of it working in IE, and not working in Chrome.  See the menu dropdown in the upper right corner.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance and happy holidays.

Jim

There's one hack I know of to show html over applets or other plugin objects in the same page - via iframe:
http://weblogs.asp.net/bleroy/archive/2005/08/09/how-to-put-a-div-over-a-select-...

Telerik'c menu might be using that approach, and then it might not be working in Chrome, or for some reason it might not be generating iframes at all when Chrome is detected as browser. I don't have Telerik controls installed, but in my test iframes show correctly over applets in Chrome, so it might be the latter. You could check the generated html code to verify this, and if there are no iframes generated for Chrome, look for some option of the control to force iframe generation for all browsers.

I hope that helps,
Stoyan

Hi Stoyan,

Many thanks for your response, including the link.
Will pursue with Telerik as I now believe their menu control is not behaving properly in Chrome.
