I have a dropdown javascript menu that is at the top of my web page. in the area below is a flash movie. in internet explorer, my dropdown menus will overlap the flash movie, as intended, but not in mozilla. anyone have this kind of issue and know of a solution?

I found this thread via the google search for 'drop down list overlap flash object' and it proved helpful. The bit of info I would add so you don't have to search all around is:

-the wmode has 3 values: window, opaque, transparent
-transparent is the value you should select if you want your drop down menu (or other html element) to overlap the flash
-code the OBJECT part <param name=wmode value=transparent> and the EMBED section wmode="transparent".

Those are the 3 items I had to delve deeper for to get the fix working.
