wmode=“transparent” is not XHTML compliant. Anyone know a way to get around this and still have the drop downs appear over flash?

Yazeed — what kind of control you need. If wmode=transparent is not set, you can’t do a thing in Firefox — no way to show anything over it.

The only thing you can do in this case is to hide the entire iframe (and thus the flash file as well) when div is about to be displayed. Nothihg else you can do that I know of.

Dears,

i have a page which contains an iframe for browsing some material .
in the main page i have a div which may be displayed over the iframe. the iframe may have some flash -> so the div will not appear if it came over the flash.

the content in the iframe is from a 3rd party so i cant force the to use wmode=“transparent. so is there anyway to control the div instead of the flash object ????

Just wondered if there was an example that works with the suckerfish type drop down menu. I see someone has asked this as the first comment of the discussion but can’t see if this given as an example anywhere. I can’t get this wch to work with my horizontal drop down. Not really sure how to go about implementing the wch. Understand the basics but must be missing something somewhere. Thanks a lot.

Thanks for ur help. The site http://www.cityofpetal.com/jax/index.htm
was of great help to me . I was also using wmode and transparent, but its not working in the netscape. When I looked at the website, they are writing it again in tag, i did the same and it helped me a lot

There is no problem with Mac browsers and drop downs I’m aware of. All Mac browsers I tried will place layer over drop down, but none over Flash files (or any other object tag).

Hiding is not a problem, it can be done exactly as I did in WCH script for the IE5.0.
