DHTML javascipt-based navigation structure and flash: how to set the layer?

Hi, everybody,

I have developed a very nice javascript-based navigation structure. My
customer wants to have a flash film on his very first site which
already has to have this navigation.
And now the effect: Whenever the flash film is running, the navigation
submenus are not displayed ABOVE this flash film, but BEHIND it.
As far as I have tried, there is no way to influence this behaviour
with the "z-index" and different values.
Is there any other way to make the navigation submenu seen or - in
other words - is there a way to put the flash film "a layer back"?

Sincerely
Markus Mohr

Yes, with IE/Win since I think Flash 6 and with Netscape 7 since I think
Flash Flash 6 r65 you can use
<object ...>
<param name="wmode" value="opaque">
<embed wmode="opaque"
then Flash obeys CSS z-index.
See the demo at

Of course the problem is that wmode settings are restricted to Windows
and even there it doesn't work for instance with Opera 7.

Thank you very much, your help brought me immediately to my aim.
Unfortunately, Opera 7 - as you stated -does not do the job.

Hi again. Thank you for previews answers. I have another question.... How can I inform a Javascipt, that must submit my Applet's data, that this same Applet has produced the data in question? Or in other words, is there any way to call a JavaScript junction within the Applet? Is it the best way? What do you suggest? Thank you very much again,

hi there, i would like a book that will explain concepts of javascript and dhtml instead of, for example, ten tutorials on how to do specific things in js or dhtml. ideally a book thats can explain from the basics of javascript, to more complex things such as dhtml and dom onto things like creating javascript objects (if that is possible, but u get the idea). rather than this is how you make a drop down menu tutorial; this is how you

Hi; I have heard about a few very good books on DHTML, but the most modern ones seem to have been published in 2002. Have any _significant_ changes in DHTML or the standard DOM happened since then or will those "best of the dhtml books" still do the job? If not, is there a place on the web that documents DHTML, well, in its latest greatest form?
