JavaScript :hover fix fails when Flash is added to page.

My page uses a horizontal navigation bar that requires a JavaScript file to force IE to do hovers. It worked great in both Fire Fox and IE until some Flash code was added.

This is how the Flash was added:

First JavaScript was used to "onload" some files in the body tag. That caused the mouseover fix to fail. I solved that by moving the JavaSript call to the bottom of the page.

Then I added some Flash code and the IE hover fix failed again.

This is as far as I can get.

Any ideas why Flash would abort the JS hover fix?

Flash was added as follows: (script code omitted)

[HTML]<body bgcolor="#7D765 3" text="#000000" topmargin="0" onLoad="MM_prel oadImages('imag es/bottommenu/b_bookstore_f2. gif', 'images/bottommenu/b_photogallery_ f2.gif', 'images/bottommenu/b_visitus_f2.gi f', 'images/bottommenu/b_search_f2.gif ')">

<table width="790" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" align="center">

If the hover fix code is loaded onload, the body onload will be 'overwriting' it. Use a multiple onload script to run more than one function onload, or just add it to body onload.

Hi everybody, Since today the pages at http://www.laiverd.com/groundzero/anima have problems with the hover-styles in Netscape 7.1 (no problems in Mozilla, Firefox and IE on Windows).
