| I have a great looking drop-down menu that we created and the client loves it.
However, after getting it transparent and looking great dropping down over the
html content, we discovered an issue. The menu drops down 350px over the
underlying html layer but any URLs or Form objects (basically anything
requiring cursor action) under the Flash layer are unusable. If you right-click
in the Flash layer area (DMZ?) over the html, you get the Flash plug-in menu.
Example: ndsion.net/newsite/InquiryForm.html
I have seen this done in commercial products such as 'F-Source Drop Down
Menus' (f-source.com) where the Flash layer only covers the html when the
drop-down occurs, so I know it is possible, just beyond my skillz. I've tried
adjusting the z-index of the enclosing DIVs but that doesn't work. The way it
is now, and in many designs using flash drop downs is to have another Flash
element or image in this "DMZ' area, under the flash layer but that is clunky
to say the least.
Any ideas?
:evil;
