Greetings - a customer has given me a number of single html pages that I have to piece together into one cohesive presentation. I drag/drop a file into a blank AM4 page and resize it to 800 x 600. That's all good.............

Since there are no navigation buttons or nav text on any of the html pages given to me, I tried to add a text button called "HOME", which would bring the viewer to the home screen. Problem is, when I run preview, the "HOME" button is not visible on the screen; it's hidden by the html screen.

TIA for any help!

I haven't done much with HTML pages, but can you do anything with the z order and have the button be on top of the web page or leave space at the top of the page for a navigation bar? I would go for the second one.

Hi - You'll have to leave room for any navigation buttons you may want to add to the page. Read 'Z-order limitations' in the AMS4 Help file.

Thanks for the ideas, TJ - I did try to do just what you suggested. Z order doesn't have any effect, so I'm going to put in a small nav bar at the bottom, keeping the html file raised just high enough so that the nav bar will be displayed and accessible.

Yeah, I have yet to read the Z-order limitations like Derek suggested. Will do that today but it sounds like it wont work and in my first post I thought the second idea was the better of the two.
