I have dropdown menus, that work like a charm, except that they seem to go behind the flash object. Any Ideas?<!--content-->use z-index for the object tag of the flash thingy, and also add the following param:<br />
<br />
<param name="WMode" value="Transparent" /><!--content-->the above does not work in mozilla, and i am still searching for a solution to that so if anyone knows, please share<!--content-->Hi there AaronCampbell,<br />
<br />
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" /> is for the object element<br />
and wmode="transparent" is for the embed element.<br />
This has been mildly discussed here (<!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.htmlforums.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=29418">http://www.htmlforums.com/showthread.ph ... adid=29418</a><!-- m -->)<br />

Why do I see a blank page in Mozilla??? It works fine in IE. Before I added wmode="transparent" the flash thing was there but it wasn't transparent. Now there's just a blank page.<!--content-->Hi there pyrexyn,<br />
<br />
The cause of your problem is z-index:-2; and it serves no purpose...<br />
other than to render a blank page in Mozilla...<br />
so you may safely remove it :D<br />

p.s. It would be easier to follow your posts...<br />
if now and again you popped a few line breaks in...<br />
Hope that this is not considered a gratuitous comment<br />

use z-index for the object tag of the flash thingy, and also add the following param:<br />
<br />
<param name="WMode" value="Transparent" /> <br />
and so just an FYI, you cannot control the object tag with z-index. the object is a windowed element as I have stated in the posted thread on here.<!--content-->
