Why do I have to activate the menu (with a click)

[Dennis_gull]

Sometimes when im on my site I have to click on the menu once before it starts to work and at some other peoples computers when im on IE the whole flash file get inside a frame and when I hold over it, it says activate flash. Is it because I use wmode? I have to use wmode because I have lightbox (a javascript) so if I dont use wmode the flash will show over it.
If you dont know what lightbox is you can click here (http://www.huddletogether.com/projects/lightbox2/) to see an example.

any idea how to fix this?

Edit:
Nvm found out how to fix it, stupid me didnt use google :glasses:

It's an IE only problem, in one of their updates they decided to make the user click to activate ActiveX controls. If you do a search on "Click to Activate" you will find some tutorials on workarounds.

I used another script but its probably based on the same code, it looks like this:



objects = document.getElementsByTagName("object");
for (var i = 0; i < objects.length; i++)
{
objects[i].outerHTML = objects[i].outerHTML;
}


anyways I still got a litte problem but its not in IE and it doesnt show the "click here to activate" text. But sometimes when im in mozilla the menu doesnt work when I hold over it until I click on it once.. Does anyone know why that is?

When I hold over the menu it shows the menu's name (what I named the menu when I added it too the php file)
But I havent seen anyone else having this problem for FF, most people talk about the IE problem only.
