Is there a Firefox fix (it works ok on Chrome) for the flyout menus being covered by, for example, the Weather Underground Rapid Fire Display?

Re: Flyout and Flash
Yes, the Flash needs a parm of wmode=transparent to not be top-most in the Z-order.
I use this in my rapid-fire.php page:
I use this in my rapid-fire.php page:
Code: Select all
<table width="550">
<tr><td>
<div id="flashcontent" class="autosize"><b>Wunderground Rapid-Fire</b><br />You need to install v8, or greater, of Flash Player from <a href="http://www.adobe.com">Adobe</a> to view Wunderground Rapid-Fire.</div>
<script type="text/javascript">
//
var so = new SWFObject(
"http://www.wunderground.com/swf/Rapid_Fire.swf?units=both&station=KCASARAT1",
"Rapid_fire.swf",
550, 400, "8", "#FFFFFF");
so.addParam("quality", "high");
so.addParam("wmode", "transparent"); // needed to let the Flash object not be 'on top' of z-index
so.write("flashcontent");
</script>
</td></tr>

Re: Flyout and Flash
Well, I do have transparent. My code is different...
It works ok in Chrome/Canary but not Firefox/Waterfox, Opera nor IE.
Perhaps it is your method.
Code: Select all
<object width="800" height="532">
<param name="movie" value="http://www.wunderground.com/swf/Rapid_Fire.swf?units=metric&station=IVARNAPR3" />
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
<embed src="http://www.wunderground.com/swf/Rapid_Fire.swf?units=metric&station=IVARNAPR3"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="800" height="532" />
</object>
Perhaps it is your method.

Re: Flyout and Flash
Running the code in my page results in the following being generated by the JavaScript
You might try that code instead of the <object> code .. it works fine in all browsers AFAIK...
Code: Select all
<div id="flashcontent" class="autosize">
<embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash"
src="http://www.wunderground.com/swf/Rapid_Fire.swf?units=both&station=KCASARAT1"
id="Rapid_fire.swf"
name="Rapid_fire.swf"
bgcolor="#FFFFFF"
quality="high"
wmode="transparent"
height="400" width="550">

Re: Flyout and Flash
Well, it certainly works with Firefox/Waterfox. I'll try the rest at my leisure
Thanks for that.
