I have IE9, and tried compatibility modes for IE7-9 and couldn't recreate this issue as I understand it....

Is it an issue of the sidebar being clicked and being stuck at the top? Cuz I can see it jumps up and then when the next page loads it is rendered in the correct place. That's merely an inherit issue with using flash as that sort of component in a website since there is a momentary lapse where the browser resources are handed over to the flash object which could be causing this issue. If you want to eliminate this effect, then just markup the main nav and sidebar as straight HTML. Personally I feel like the main nav constantly fading in is a bit distracting from the content.

Also, doing your navigation in HTML markup has added benefits, since you're not taking full advantage of your SEO with this type of navigation. Google does better indexing with flash content now days, but when you're nav structure is setup in flash, I'm not sure that gets spidered very well and it's entirely possible the site isn't being properly indexed unless you're supplying a sitemap to google analytics. Just some things to keep in mind.

Hello!

I just added swfoject to replace 2 flash elements on the site I
maintain with iphone friendly content: http://www.tkd-boston.com

The 2 flash elements are the top nav (header) and the right nav
(sidebar1).  Sidebar1 is float: right; but in IE, whenever I click any
link or refresh the page, the nav bar jumps up into the header.  So
far I've seen this in IE 8&  9.  FF6 doesn't do this.  I've tried
absolute positioning Sidebar1 from the top but then instead of
shifting up when I click / refresh the page, it jumps to the left.
Also tried adding height and width but that doesn't work either..

What am I missing?  Any ideas?

Thank you for your help!! :)
