div objects and iframe

[PeP]

hi,
the following code produces,
in ie for win and mozilla-based browsers for win/linux/mac,
the div object to be foreground respect to the iframe, because of z-index
css attribute,
but opera browser for win/linux and ie for mac always show the div object in
the
background

<div id="obj1" style="z-index: 2; position: absolute; top: 10px; left:
10px"> ... </div>
<iframe id="myframe" style="z-index: 1; position: absolute; top: 15px; left:
15px"> ... </iframe>

any suggestions?

To achieve the effect you seem to be after, frames aren't the solution. Is
the content of the frame another page on your site or an external site?

If the former, then you could use a <div> and copy n' paste the content of
that file into the division, then apply an "overflow: auto" style to it.

This will have the effect of creating what appears to be an iframe with
scrollbars when necessary, and works in IE (4-6 Windows, but only 5 on
Mac), Mozilla (and NS versions that use Mozilla) and Opera (7). It
also works in Safari (AFAIK) but not in Konqueror.

This might fix the problem you are having, but I haven't tested it.

Of course, you need to add dimensions to that division, otherwise it will
just default to take up all the space it needs. I also forgot to mention
that in the latter case you are out of luck

the content of the page is on the same website but id' like to change
the frame (or div) content dynamically, according to the user choices!

thank you

You could do this using a server-side language such as PHP, and have a
different file included depending on the user's choice...
