Windowless controls

I have a very sophisticated web app that uses a lot of overlapping
components. Most of the app is .asp / thin and that works just fine.
However, there are some portions of the app that will require "thicker"
technologies.

I have been struggling to find a way to integrate controls into the web page
such that they play nicely in the browser's z-order. As i'm sure you are
aware, windowed controls do not play nicely in this environment.

I need to be able to develop controls that will honor the browser window's
z-order. Flash player, for example, will do it (in IE) if wmode is set to
transparent. I need something similar that will allow me to develop a thick
control for specific functionality that will leave peacefully with the other
objects embedded in my browser page.

SO, i see no way whatsoever to do this in either .Net or winforms. Does
anyone know what approach I can take to do this successfully? Will avalon
offer anything that will help, or does it actually make matters worse.

Please this is a very intractible problem and one that is VERY IMPORTANT for
the success of our project.
 
I have not tested it myself, but try placeing the controls inside a div or
span and manipulate their z-order/visibility
