I’m having an issue and its time for me to hit the message boards.

I have an HTML page that has 2 \<DIV\> layers on it. One of them is set to have a z-index depth of 2 and the other is z-index of 3. This all works all in good the layers exist correctly, except when I enable the wmode of the top most layer.

If wmode is set to transparent it then resides behind the z-index 2 layer. Instead of on top of all the layers. I’ve been looking for a bug fix but cannot find one. I can send some source code if need be.

This is a pretty urgent matter, and responses or ideas are GREATLY appreciated.
