The problem I'm having, and have had with the script before is getting it to appear above form elements or flash in IE. I know you can make flash transparents and get around it, but this time its form elements that need to stay where they are. This is such an easy menu to use, I just wish it didn't have this one problem.
It works fine in firefox, so I didn't even notice because that is what I usually use.
I tried changing the z-index:1 to z-index:99 but it didn't work.
You might take me as rude, but my only advice is NOT to use the Myckey Mouse (MM Dreamweaver) javascript coding facilities. They are clumsy, redundant, and almost impossible to follow.debug. Try to learn javascript and build your own menus.

Ok, now, the code could be correct. It is not this your main problem. It is a problem of design. Always, the form's elments will overcover whichever other elements you might have in the page (for instance, a collapsed javascript menu, or even the background). z-Index will be of no help on this.
Same with Flash, if it's layout is not transparent. But if it is transparent, the problem will be backwards, you will be not be able to touch the form's element through the Flash's transparency . There might be some very intricate ways to solve those problems (but not always crossbrowser) so my advice is to modify the layout of the site, so that the expanded menu should not cover the form's elements.
