Hi folks,

I recently tried to insert the ‘Make Poverty History’ banner that you may have seen on some websites onto my own. The banner displays in the top right hand corner of your website when you add the html code to your site.

I run a flash website, so when I add the code to my html, the banner gets hidden behind all of the flash content. I was therefore wondering if some kind soul out there could shed a bit of light on how to get the banner infront of the flash stuff if at all possible.

I have included my html source below. The website states that the banner code (also displayed below) should be included after the ‘body’ tag. When I do this, the banner becomes hidden behind all the flash content.

I hope all this is making sense to at least someone out there as I am desperate to display the link for such as worthwhile cause.

**My HTML code . . .**

Dear Josh,

I’m referencing the small flash banner is on the Make Poverty History website.  
[http://www.makepovertyhistory.org/whiteband\_small.swf](http://www.makepovertyhistory.org/whiteband_small.swf)  
Somehow the banner is still displaying Christmas decorations.  
Is there any way you could remove the decorations for me.  
Many Thanks  
Michele
