293585 - pqi.com.tw drop-down menu covered by Flash in Mozilla, doesn't even show up in Firefox

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Tech Evangelism Graveyard :: English Other, defect)

Description

I've no idea what's going on here.

If I remove the Flash object, the drop-down menu shows up in Mozilla. The flash
has the same z-index as the menu object, but that doesn't seem to be the problem
(if I remove the z-index, the flash still covers the menu).

It's even weirder in Firefox. The menu doesn't show up whatsoever, and no JS error.

Anyone knows what's wrong with it and how I can suggest changes?

works for me in firefox and mozilla on winxp with Shockwave Flash 7.0 r19.

<object style='Z-INDEX: 100'
classid='clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000'
codebase='http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0'

type='application/x-shockwave-flash' width='776' height='240'
wmode='opaque'></embed></object>

they have wmode for both the object and embed which is required for the
positioned content to appear above the flash.

try a fresh profile.

I have this problem, but only on Linux based machines. I'm running Firefox 1.0.7 on CentOS and FC4. Some sites where the flash objects overlap the menus:
http://www.bovespa.com.br (upper menus open under chart flash)
http://www.natura.com.br (left menus open under flash add)
http://ri.cyrelabrazilrealty.com.br/ (left menus open under flash add)

The same sites work ok on FX 1.0.7 running on Windows 2000.

check if the version of flash you have on linux supports wmode

I just tested using Firefox 3.0.3 and Flash 10 on Windows (XP SP3) and Linux (Kubuntu 8.04.1) with no problems. Menu and flash work fine. Closing as WORKSFORME.
