Good Afternoon,
Newbe here, Not sure if this has been covered before but I am having problems with the DHTML menu coming up behind my web calendar. It also comes up behind the flash photos on the site. Thanks for any help. Here is our site www.cvag.org

The flash objects need wmode set to transparent for this to work.
Starting at around line 770 you have this code to which I added a param tag, and I also added the wmode attribute to the embed tag.
<object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=5,0,0,0" width="230" height="220">
<param name="movie" value="tech_charm_dwt/topmovie.swf">
<param name="quality" value="high">
<param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF">
<param name="wmode" value="transparent"><!-- I added this line -->
<embed src="tech_charm_dwt/topmovie.swf" wmode="transparent" quality="high" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" width="230" height="220" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash">
</embed>
</object>
Then your calendar code is at about line 900. It's all on one line, but I broke it up below so it's easier to see how I added 'so.addParam("wmode", "transparent");'.
<script type="text/javascript" src="swfobject.js"></script>
<div id="CC9601690">You did not upload swfobject.js or you do not have flash installed</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
var so = new SWFObject("mycalendar.swf", "mycalendar.xml", "200", "220", "7,0,0,0", "#ffffff");
so.addParam("classid", "clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000");
so.addParam("quality", "high");
so.addParam("salign", "lt");
so.addParam("FlashVars", "ww=200&hh=220");
so.addParam("wmode", "transparent");
so.write("CC9601690");
</script> </tr>
.

Thanks for your help. That worked sort of, on the calendar it changed the white background to the same color as the border color. But at least the menu now works great. Thanks for your help.

Kalbrecht,
Any time you have a problem with a program, it is a good idea to see if there is a newer version.
There is a newer version of the CoffeeCup DHTML menu program, and having the new version may solve some of your problems. Bill R.

Did you set the wmode to transparent both for the object and the embed?
Ha en riktig god dag!
