    The only way around this is on IE.

    I don't think there is a way around - as far as I knew its not possible.

    Some people suggest adding
    <param name="wmode" value="transparent"> to the object will work, , theres something similar for the embed as well.

    I havent seen this in action yet though!

    Yeah <param NAME="wmode" VALUE="transparent">

    and <embed border="0" WMODE="transparent" should do the trick

    It works in NS 70 71 and
    firebird 0.7

    dont think it works in NS 4.7


    Regards

    ok
    firstly, flash elements are written onto the desktop not into the browser window - same for applets, forms elements

    more info:
    Positioned Elements and OS Controls, Applets and Plug-ins http://www.webreference.com/dhtml/diner/seethru/
    there's also a sort of support list at http://www.macromedia.com/support/fireworks/ts/documents/pop-up_menus_and_active_con.htm

    one workaround which works for some browsers, tho not all, is to enclose the elements with a css id...
    #badform { display: compact; }
    and wrap the whole form/element in
    <div id="badform">
    stuff
    </div>

    mileage _will_ vary

    otherwise it is over to shortening and repositioning of content
