Drop Downs and Embed tag

[roach62]

We created menus using DreamWeaver, when we put a embeded tag on the page the drop down menu go behind the embeded object. Is there anyway to fix this?

All Active content on a page will always rise to the top, so to speak,
including Flash, certain form elements, Java applets, and Active X controls.
This means that each of these will poke through layers. There is not a good
cross-browser/platform reliable way to solve this issue, but if you can be
confident in your visitors using IE 5+ or NN6+, then you can use the Flash
wmode parameter (however, Safari does not support this properly!).

Nope. At least not Safari 2.0.4 - at least it doesn't support it properly.

To think that those menus have been allowed to remain in DW for 4 product
release cycles staggers me....

works fine for me: OSX 10.4.8, Safari ver 2.0.4 (419.3), Player 9

The problem will be seen when you have a drop-down appear over the Flash -
is that how you are testing? Can you show me?

not exactly, i've used in other scenarios. by a drop-down do you mean a
CSS/JS menu?

[Murray *ACE*]

Yes. That's where you see the Safari implementation of wmode fail.
