ARS 6.3
MidTier patch: 005

I have a large button field that we are using as a background image.
On top of this button, I have placed a page field. On the Windows
Client, everything shows up as it should. On midtier, the button
shows up on top of the pagefield blocking out the pagefield! This is
something that we have been doing for months. It only is a problem on
this form.

Any ideas?

Warren,

On the web the buttons have the highest z-level. I don't recall their being a solution short of finding another way to display the image. Maybe use a view field.

Sorry I can't offer you more.

Warren,

Does the button do anything other than add a background?

If it is just a background... I would turn to some web skills and not
use a button. I would try to work out a better HTML/CSS/DHTML solution
than using a Remedy button.

Details as to how... well... I would have to leave that for the student. :)


if it does more than just a button... try playing with the "bring to
front"/"send to back" for the page holder/button. Maybe shuffling the
z order and getting the Mid-Tier to re-cache will be enough to resolve
the issue?

It just doesn't make any sense! We have been using this method for 6
months! I have Lots of forms that all have a button with
fields/trim/pagefields etc. stacked on top of it!

I did try screwing around with the pagefield page order with no luck!

People ask me why I drink.....

I would try just putting in an IMG tag with an absolutely positioned embedded style. Something like:



Just change the src URL and the top and left to the position you want (it's measured in pixels from the visible portion of the page).

HTH,

Chris Woyton

Well,

As I said before, people wonder why I drink!

The reason why it wouldn't work was a "front to back" issue. The
problem that I was having is that I would click on the page field and
look for the front and back buttons on the toolbar. They would remain
gray. However, had I clicked on the button instead, the buttons would
have appeared! Once I turned it over to Remedy, they quickly found
the problem. I clicked on the image/button first and Voila!

Thanks for everyone's assist!

Warren
