Topic: SimpleViewer z-index / menu not visible

I am working on an integration of SimpleViewer with the Drupal Acidfree module. I modified the source to allow for different file names for images and thumbnails (and completely different paths, too). It all works fine, apart from 2 problems:

1) The popup-menu on the left side seems to be "under" SimpleViewer, i.e. sub-menus are not show. I have tried to <div> position:absolute and z-index the SimpleViewer, but it is still shown on-top of everything else...

2) In Internet Explorer, there is a red frame around SimpleViewer, which I dont know where it comes from. Firefox renders everything perfectly!

Take a look here:

Thanks for any thought or advice on this!

Regards,
Martin

Ok, z-index problem solved. After a little research on the Net (which I admit I should have done before) turns out to be a standard problem.

You can have the SimpleViewer SWF appear under DHTML layers by adding this code under the SWFObject line:

fo.addParam&#40;"wmode", "opaque"&#41;;

Not to mess with the master, but shouldn't it be:

fo.addParam&#40;"wmode", "transparent"&#41;;

Anyway, it works (see link above)! Thanks!

Actually 'opaque' will give you better performance. Did you try it? Check here for more information: http://www.communitymx.com/content/arti … ?cid=E5141

Yeah, it works, too! I will add a configuration setting to my drupal module to select between the two. Thanks!
