Menu over iframe containing pdf

[theboywhogotlost]

I have a DHTML menu that I created, it works great, most the time it just drops down over and iframe that contains an HTML page. - All that works fine however when the iframe contains a pdf or word document my menu pops up behind the PDF document.

I've set the z-index on the frame to a large negetive value and that didn't help I also set the menu to a large positive z-index value but to no avail. Any ideas?

This happens both in IE7 and FF2

Thanks for any help.

The problem occurs because both .doc and .pdf are using their native programs for display - neither one is native to the browser. I don't know of any workaround available today. I also don't think that either of these document types should ever have been integrated into browser window displays, but that's another topic, and what I think doesn't change the reality.

=( I'm building it for our I-net at work and have hundreds of manuals and books and stuff in PDF format that's why the pdf and word format.

I'm in a very controlled environment and can force changes in IE through AD if anyone can come up with a solution that would be great.

The same thing happens when I embed the pdf docs. So I'm afriad that tedster is right.
