Absolute positioned div

[The Little Guy]

On the windows firefox, I have a div (positioned absolute) and half of it is behind all swf files, while the other half is visible when not on top of the swf.

 

Is there a way to force the div to display above the swf file?

You need to set the wmode parameter of your SWF file to transparent when you embed it:

<!-- this goes within your object tag -->
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />

although I'm not expert on this, I don't think value="transparent" would work. What about visiblity="transparent" or display="none"?

If he did Transparent, he could mess around with CSS opacitys.

The param tag always has at least two attributes: name and value. In this case, you are setting the value of the wmode to transparent, so yes, it does work.
