You gave a WHOLE bunch of things z-index:5 (including #mainWraper which is holding the flash):

#headerWrapper, #contentMainWrapper, #logoWrapper, #cartBoxListWrapper, #ezPageBoxList, #cartBoxListWrapper ul, #ezPageBoxList ul, #mainWrapper, #popupAdditionalImage, #popupImage {
	margin: 0em;
	padding: 0em;
        z-index:5
}

#headerWrapper {z-index:5}
#headerWrapper, #contentMainWrapper, #logoWrapper, #cartBoxListWrapper, #ezPageBoxList, #cartBoxListWrapper ul, #ezPageBoxList ul, #mainWrapper, #popupAdditionalImage, #popupImage {
	margin: 0em;
	padding: 0em;
}

Ah, ok. I'll separate that command out from the rest and test it.

Thanks a bunch!

Still no luck. Would it have something to do with how the page content is written? I am certainly no pro when it comes to web design and am using Frontpage to create my content (get it? ).

Thanks again,

You have some serious html errors there, such as html tag open in the middle of the page, are you trying to use frame?

[mrogowski]

Possible. Perhaps I'll take a step back and rebuild what I have. Sounds like a few variables could be causing this.

Thanks for the effort.

Best,
Mark

From doing a google search, it looks like flash prefers to be on top no matter what z-index you throw at it, and there seems to be no perfect way around it, but one site I read said to set the wmode of the flash to transparent... I think something like this:

<embed src="main_page/ixl_sale.swf" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" name="obj1" width="258" height="326" quality="High"></object>

Anyway, its worth giving a try

Hi,

I have had several of my customers and designers who are using IE6 contact me concerning menu problems.

I have my store in a sub-directory. Can I place the "fix" in an htaccess file in the root directory of the store and not the site?

Thanks

Rick

Rick,
Go back and read posts #496-498. Make sure you didn't make the same mistake I did. As for the .htaccess, it can be in the root directory because it will affect all subdirectories under it, unless there is an .htaccess file in the subdirectory which contradicts the one in the root.

I checked on one of my pages that had flash on and only then realised that it was still on top. (It was too far down the page to affect the css dropdown but it was still 'bright' and in front of my dark background on the 'slimbox' lightbox effect.)

Added the code and it worked a treat.

Thanks for the pointer, solved a problem I did not realise I had!!
