Hi,
    I am trying this sample applet on 2 different Mac OS X's

1) Mac OS X 10.3.9
    Safari 1.3.2 (v312.6)
    JVM - 1.4.2_09

   Here whenever the Browser, running the Applet comes on Top, the
Dialog also comes on Top i.e. if the dialog is hidden behind some window
& I click on the browser running the applet, the Dialog(showing "Hello",
"OK")
also becomes uncovered/visible.

2) Mac OS X 10.4.5
    Safari 2.0.3 (v417.8)
    JVM - 1.4.2_09

    Here clicking on the Browser doesn't make the Dialog Visible.

As per the Java Docs, I think the Behaviour on OS X 10.3.9 is the
correct behaviour.

Is there a way to have that behaviour on OS X 10.4 - any workarounds,
anything I can do so that the dialog doesn't get hidden.

I cannot make the dialog modal.

Given below is the Applet source.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.applet.Applet;

public class MyTest extends Applet implements ActionListener {

    private Button b;
    private Dialog myDialog;

    public void init() {
        b = new Button("Press me");
        b.addActionListener(this);
        add(b);
        show();
    }

    private Frame findFrame(Component c) {
        for (; c != null; c = c.getParent()) {
            if (c instanceof Frame) return (Frame) c;
        }
        return null;
    }

    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
        if ( e.getSource() == b ) {
            showDlg();
        }
    }

    public void showDlg()
    {
        if(myDialog == null) {
            // Set The Applet as owner
            Frame f = findFrame(this);
            if(f != null) {
                System.out.println("Found Frame");
                myDialog = new Dialog(f, false);
                myDialog.add(new Label("Hello ") , BorderLayout.NORTH);
                myDialog.add(new Button("OK"), BorderLayout.SOUTH);
                myDialog.pack();
                myDialog.show();
            }
        }
    }

}
