Hello,

We have a GUI which uses a flash floating navigation console. This console is placed/positioned with javascript. Now we need to add an index page which will cover the regular page content as well as the floating navigation panel. The person who is working on that (seperate office) tells me that he is going to try to use a div tag. Can anyone explain how it is possible to do this? Does it have something to do with the z-index? I am more of a flash programmer so I do not have a lot of experience with HTML, hence this question.

Thanks in advance.
