z-index problem with showing pdf in IE

[Mathias Noth]

Hi All,

In my primefaces application I show pdf files. In order to do it, inside a jsf page I use <object> tag.
The problem is that the pdf viewer in IE (default acrobat) is shown on top of all other components. In other words, the pdf file hides all popups, dialogs, etc...

I have played with z-index but with no success. It seems that no matter what I do, the z-index of the pdf object is just ignored. The same problem exists if I use <iframe>, or <embed> instead of <object>, for embedding a pdf.

In Firefox everything works like a charm, but not in IE (I have tried versions 8, and 9)

Any ideas?

Thank you,
Mathias

what is the relation with Primefaces?

[Mathias Noth]

Yes, you are right. I didn't formulate the question correctly.

The question should go:
Is there a way to use any primefaces component like p:lightBox or p:media in order to show pdf content below a p:dialog.
Or, even better, is there a way to specify p:dialog z-index to be shown on top of a pdf?

Hello,

you could use a frame.

[Mathias Noth]

Hi,

Thank you for the reply.

Can you, please, give me some guidelines how to use a frame for this purpose.
I have tried inline frame (<iframe... >) with the same result: p:dialog is always partially hidden behind the pdf.

Thanks

Help!!!!

I have a seemed problem, I want to show an xml in html format through an xsl file, so I am using a iframe which points out to XML file inside a main p:dialog.

<iframe src="#{comprobanteClienteBean.detalleComprobanteBean.rutaRelativaDetalleComprobante}" height="300px"></iframe>

the problem happens when I click on a button (inside the main p:dialog) which shows an p:confirmDialog, so it is hidden by the iframe,
and the worst part is that only happens in IE.

Is there some way to show an xml in html format (through xsl) in primefaces.


Any advice ??????????????? please!!!!!!!!!
