You can get dhtml to cover flash by setting the flash to use wmode:transparent. However, this makes the content in the flash invisible to screen readers.
IE6 is hell with z-index. Especially when combined with form elements. IE7 is much better and you should be able to create a page that works in all browsers with just a few issues in IE6. Yahoo! published the Graded Browser Support chart to justify which browsers can be supported reasonably. I don't think the browsers listed below are A-level. However, you shouldn't build to IE, but to standards-compliant browsers, like firefox/opera for win. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Michael Kear Sent: Monday, October 22, 2007 6:14 PM To: wsg@webstandardsgroup.org Subject: RE: [WSG] How to make DHML cover flash Thanks Rogier, I appreciate your help. Since we are likely to have perhaps 1 or 2 users only using any of those browsers, and by far the vast majority of our users are using WindowsXP with IE6 or IE7 (remember this is not a IT related site - our customers are tshirt retailers and advertising agencies) I've decided the cost/benefit of fixing that isn't worth it. The few users inconvenienced by the issue can just use the back button or click on one of the top menu items and get the drop downs from there. Sorry for those people, but them's the breaks. Sometimes you have problems you know are there, but just simply aren't high enough in the priorities to get fixed. I have several other deadlines with this client to meet, and they're far more important than this one. But you're right, Rogier, it ought to be fixed for those users, but it's not going to be unless I have a slow day sometime.

Hope it's useful.
