Can anyone out there help me? I am attempting to get a JTable lay on the top of a Document editor. So far, I've been able to get the table to lay on the editor by placing it into the glass pane of the editor's class. However, when I set the "setOpapue()" to false and set the background of the table to null, the only thing that i get is the color gray behind the grid of the table. Hence, I still unable to see the text in the document editor, which is located directly behind the Jtable. My goal is to be able to have the JTable serve as a coordinates grid over the document editor. In addition, I'd like to get the scroll value of the JTable to equal to that of the Document editor. However, my biggest priority is solving the above issue.
