I did a search on this but haven't really found an answer. How do I fix my drop downs so they don't fall behind the flash movie on my page? It works in IE but not in Firefox (although it seems like sometimes it does).

seems to be a common problem, but i'm not finding much in the way of a solution.
on this page:
http://www.mikeindustries.com/bl…... do a search on "behind". The third occurance is in an area titled "mike writes". Maybe that will help.

thanks blaw.
I found some bit of code that seems to work...not sure why but not questioning at this point...here it is for anyone else who might need it...
[param name="wmode" value="transparent"]
[embed src="/yoursite/movie.swf" width="425" height="237" align="top" quality="high" wmode="transparent" pluginspage="http://www.macromed... type="application/x-shockwave-fl...

J, that Macromedia article only addresses IE 4+, not Firefox or others. The issue extends beyond wmode and the code I posted works cross browser.
Don't ask me why, but it does. It's only taken me two weeks to find that!

nahhhhh, it works for everything, you have to dig through it. but anyway you rock and so does your code. carry on. :)

The reason your code works cross browser is because you are including it in your embed tag as well as a param. The MM article only discusses the object/param solution.

I'm not sure, you're probably right or ar right. Firefox has issues with much code along those lines and you're right you need to add other tags each time to make it work. :(
