I can’t seem to get my css drop down menu to go in front of a Flahs imbedded video. I’ve tried the wmode=transparent and wmode=opaque and also set the video’s z-index to -1 and the menu to z-index to 1. Please help!!!

Thats mighty weird, for me the menu only drops behind the flash when the video is playing, pausing it causes the menu to act normally

you might want to try and add the zindex to your \<a\> not your \<li\>

and if that doesn’t work, apply it to the root level \<ul\>

It’s not working any other suggestions?
