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.


you have to change a bit showDlg():

    public void showDlg() {
        if (myDialog == null) {
            // Set The Applet as owner
            final Frame f = findFrame(this);
            final Window [] d = new Window[1];

            if (f != null) {
                f.addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter() {
                    public void windowActivated(WindowEvent e) {
                        if(d[0] == null || d[0] != f) {
                            myDialog.toFront();
                        }
                    }
                });
                System.out.println("Found Frame");
                myDialog = new Dialog(f, false);

                myDialog.addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter() {
                    public void windowActivated(WindowEvent e) {
                        d[0] = e.getOppositeWindow();
                    }

                    public void windowDeactivated(WindowEvent e) {
                        d[0] = e.getOppositeWindow();
                    }
                });

                myDialog.add(new Label("Hello "), BorderLayout.NORTH);
                myDialog.add(new Button("OK"), BorderLayout.SOUTH);
                myDialog.pack();
                myDialog.show();
            }
        }
    }
