Flash drop down menus in IE 6

[Illusio]

I have a simple flash drop down menu that works in all browsers except IE 6. In IE 6, the browser sees the drop down menu as an element that takes up a lot of vertical space (the length of the menu). Anyone know any tricks to get it to see it as a menu and float on top the other elements as it does in the other browsers?

where's the flash menu?
i didn't see any flash menu (ie7)

Why would you use Flash for this? This can be easily done using JavaScript and CSS, and the result would be far easier to maintain.

The flash menu is under the Shop Now button.

I tried doing it with javascript and CSS and I'm not very good at javascript, so it was just easier to make a flash one.

stay away from flash as navigation
dhtml for the win

Well if someone can help me with some code that can accomplish the same thing, I'd love to try it. 🙂

I would suggest Yahoo's UI library.

I think your are overestimating my programming ability. 🙂 I'm good with HTML and finally getting a decent grasp of CSS. But I'm not even sure where to start on that page.

The "Getting Started" page has a pretty good guide.

I ended up getting it to work by updated some of my CSS code with positioning. Thanks all.

Use Suckerfish. Very simple method for vertical or horizontal flyout menus using javascript and css.
