Ahh, interesting. So, I assume if your wmode is set to default, then 
your prob goes away... that is interesting. I can see how that might be 
problematic, esp. for something like Flash-based forms and inputs.

Actually, none at the moment. But I have been highly advocating the use 
of SWFobject and wmode on a major forum on the web, and I just want to 
make sure my advice is sound. A lot of folks have problems with (d)html 
menus and Flash... The solution is wmode opaque/transparent, but I have 
not done much testing with that mode in conjunction with SWFobject in IE7.

Anyway, thanks again for the info. I appreciate your time. :)

Cheers,
Micky
