Hello everyone,
I have something like this:

HTML

<embed width="100%" height="100%" name="plugin" src="Tmp/9425.pdf" type="application/pdf">

My div has to be over the embed file but i can't figure out how to get it done.
Embedded file always wins.

Did someone resolve this?
Thanks
Alessandro

I am pretty sure, you can't do this.

Gday.

Yeah, you can do something like this. You just need to make use of some CSS, some inline styling and some javascript (to calculate the position - you could fix it instead)

Basically, the idea is to set the div to have an absolute position. You also want to ensure it appears in-front of the embedded object - giving it a higher z-index.(the default, if not specified is 0)

Here's some code that will position the div above the center of the embed object.

XML

<!DOCTYPE html>
<head>
<script>
window.addEventListener('load', myInit, false);

function byId(e){return document.getElementById(e);}

function myInit()
{
    var moveMe = byId('moveMe');
    var coverMe = byId('coverMe');

    var coverPosX,coverPosY;
    var coverWidth, coverHeight;

    var movePosX, movePosY;
    var moveWidth, moveHeight;

    coverPosX = coverMe.clientLeft;
    coverPosY = coverMe.clientTop;
    coverWidth = coverMe.clientWidth;
    coverHeight = coverMe.clientHeight;

    moveWidth = moveMe.clientWidth;
    moveHeight = moveMe.clientHeight;

    movePosX = (coverWidth - moveWidth) / 2;
    movePosY = (coverHeight - moveHeight) / 2;

    var tgt = moveMe;
    tgt.style.left = movePosX + 'px';
    tgt.style.top = movePosY + 'px';

}
</script>
<style type="text/css" media="screen">
.above
{
    font-family: verdana;
    position: absolute;
    display: inline-block;
    color: red;
    font-weight: bold;
    font-size: 12px;
    padding: 24px;
    border: solid 4px red;
    background-color: rgba(51,51,51,0.3);
    border-radius: 16px;
    z-index: 1;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
    <embed id='coverMe' width="100%" height="300px" name="plugin" src="EstesRocketMotors.pdf" type="application/pdf">
    <div class='above' id='moveMe'>Always seek permission from aviation<br>authority before exceeding 300ft flights</div>
</body>
</html>
