Have a DIV on top of the Flash Animation

HI

I am lookign to develop a AJAX search for our website partyrama.co.uk

I want to have the products displayed in a layer as it shows in Scan.co.uk search

We cannot use ASPX

Thanks

In your flash embed i'm pretty sure you can set it to transparent or something...so then you can put content over it.

Think it's background="transparent" but don't hold me to that (I don't usually do much with flash)

 

yes, something like this:

<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />

 

Yep WMODE Transparent is the way to go..

 

Anyone know if there are many limitations to this? IE6+... or if it's good for Flash v.6+?

 

its causing a problem in IE5 or less

Please suggest more alternatives

Thanks

 

IE5 or less?...Flash v.6?...has anyone been asleep for a long time?

 

If someone is using IE 5, I think it's safe to say they are old school!

We as web developers should not design for IE 5 or less (IE 6 imo), it should be the onus of the user to update there software, or face mangled pages on their out of date browser. We are only supporting this otherwise. If not just one site but a majority of sites looked messed on < IE 7 & FF 2 it would be great as everyone would have to update.
