User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041110 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-GB; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041110 Firefox/1.0

I am building my website. I am using macromedia *.swf applets and need to set
the 'wmode' parameter to "transparent" <param name="wmode" value="transparent">
Unfortunately, Firefox doesn't recognise this parameter. If you view my homepage
(URL above) in both FireFox and IE, you can see the difference. (I don't know
about Netscape). I would love to have my site optimised for Firefox so would
love to know if there is a work around for this.
