wrong in the future.

Was working on a page that uses (PVII) dropdown menu and it doesn't
up in IE 6 & 7. I thought it was my code at question, turned out it
was because I didn't upload the SWF file, thus causing dropdown menu
not showing up.

You can see the page here

Soon as the flash banner  uploaded, it shows up fine.

That's a known issue with Flash and IE. When IE cannot find an image on a server, it simply displays a broken image icon and moves on loading the page. With Flash, it just keeps looking and looking for that SWF and if it cannot find it, the page's onload event will simply not fire. When using Flash, it's a good idea to move your script intializers inline. Delete the onload init for PMM on the body tag and write it inline, just after the end of your menu wrapper DIV:

</ul>
</div>

<script type="text/javascript">
P7_initPM(1,8,1,-20,10);
</script>
<!--end #menu_wrapper -->
