Am trying to add a "video" to a webpage using a Dreamweaver extension called Active Slideshow Pro by DMXZone.
The page can be viewed: In IE7 it works fine. The video shows and the dropdowns of the menu work correctly.
In Mozilla Firefox, although the video works the dropdowns do not show.
I have been told that everything works ok in OS X on a Mac.

If I remove the block of coding which is generated by the DMXZone extension:

<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase=" width="514" height="129" id="testshow" align="middle">
<param name="FlashVars" value="xmlFile=testshow.xml&preloaderBackColor=0x0099FF&preloaderBorderColor=0xCCCCCC" />
<param name="movie" value="slideshowpro.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="best" />
<param name="scale" value="noscale" />
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
<param name="bgcolor" value="#000000" />
<embed src="slideshowpro.swf" id="testshow" wmode="transparent" quality="best" flashvars="xmlFile=testshow.xml&preloaderBackColor=0x0099FF&preloaderBorderColor=0xCCCCCC" scale="noscale" bgcolor="#000000" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="514" height="129" pluginspage=" />
</object>

The page works in both browsers and the menu dropdowns appear correctly.

I would be most grateful for anyone's advice on this.
 
Hi,
Thanks for your advice.
Unfortunately, I still cannot get the menu to work in Mozilla 2.0.0.12. I have another pc in the house which runs 2.0.0.11 and it doesn't work with that either.
Maybe I did not explain the problem correctly. It is the dropdowns on the menu which do not appear when you hover over the menubar items (e.g. when you hover over "ideas" eleven submenu items should appear in a dropdown.
At your end, is this happening?

But I need the dropdowns to appear on the homepage.
They do in IE7. Why don't they in Mozilla/Firefox?
Is there any way to debug the mouseover of the menu items to try and detect why the dropdowns are not appearing?
