Can I add a css alternative to this flash rollover menu without reverting to 
javascript??


http://www.nssdesign.scot.nhs.uk/about_us/board_meetings.php

I want to add a css/html menu as an alternative to the flash as the WAI 
guideline says an alternative to an <object> must be provided.

Soemthing like this (does not have to animate)



 <div id="menu" style="position:absolute; left: 0px; top: 199px; width:200;"> 
        <object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" 
codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,19,0";
 width="248" height="184">
          <param name="movie" value="board_menu.swf">
          <param name="quality" value="high">
          <embed src="board_menu.swf" quality="high" 
pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer"; 
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="248" height="184"></embed>
 
  // if no flash alternative goes here
      </object></div>

     <span class="side_menu_aboutus">Who we are</span>       
  <span class="side_menu_aboutus"><a href="our_priorities.php">Our Priorities 
</a></span>
    <span class="side_menu_aboutus"><a href="our_divisions.php">Our 
Divisions</a></span>
       <span class="side_menu_aboutus"><a 
href="nss_management.php">Management</a></span>
       <span class="side_menu_aboutus"><a href="nss_board.php">NSS 
Board</a></span>
       <span class="side_menu_aboutus" ><a href="#">National 
Initiatives</a></span>
    <span class="side_menu_aboutus" ><a href="#"> Complaints</a></span>
    <span class="side_menu_aboutus" ><a href="#">Involving people</a></span>
    <span class="side_menu_aboutus" ><a href="#">Freedom of 
Information</a></span>
 </div>

I have to have the flash menu as it is a customer requirement. I did it using 
CSS/javascript initially but that is about as unaccessible as flash anyway!


I have seen simle examples of this with an image but the flash uses an <embed> 
tag and am finding it a bit tricky.
