In nVidia's home page : www.nvidia.com/page/home , try click the drop-down menu
labelled "All Products" (beside the image of International Site). The drop-down
menu appears, but part of it is covered by the flash image below the drop-down
menu. In IE, the drop-down menu covers the flash.
Reloading the page does not help the appearance of the drop-down menu.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.go to http://www.nvidia.com/page/home
2.click the drop-down menu labelled "All Products" (beside the image of
International Site)

Actual Results:  
The drop-down menu appears, but part of it is covered by the flash image below

Expected Results:  
the drop-down menu should cover the flash, but not vice versa.

i am using the Firefox default theme, but i don't think it is relevant though.

You see the blue image of "The NVIDIA 2001 Holiday Gift Guide"? that is the
flash image. And the dropdown image is covered by it.

This is due to that they dont have the attribute wmode="transparent" on the
embed tag.

This seems fixed as of today, I get the following code:

<!-- <object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"

Not really, the original bug was that the dropdown menu appears behind the flash
in the content area. Now there is no longer any flash there, it has been
replaced with an image. The code you point out is from the header.
