From: "Corrie Potter" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
I have a CSS based dynamic menu that drops down and there is a flash
movie that is right under the menu. The flash movie is set to
transparent and the menu pops down over the flash menu in all
browsers correctly except in Safari. In Safari the menu displays
over
the flash movie but when you go over the top of sub menu items they
drop behind the flash movie for some reason. Is there anyone out
there that can help me? I really appreciate it!
It's a Safari bug. Last year, a Macromedia engineer filed a bug report
with Apple. It has not been acted upon. The only workarounds are to
either:
1. Get rid of Flash (usually not a bad idea :-)
2. Use a script to hide or replace the Flash when the submenus are
being shown.
3. Eliminate all hover behaviors for the submenus.
You can also write to Apple and report the issue. I imagine if enough
people report it, they might decide to fix it. It seems tied to the
techniques that Safari uses to create the illusion of speed. Mozilla
uses similar tricks, but with a bit more aplomb :-)
