RadMenu displaying behind Flash Movie in IE but not Firefox

[David Kucharski]

I have a webpage that has 2 user controls on it. In one user control i have a RadMenu. In the other user control, underneath the first user control, a flash movie object is placed, When I am developing and I run the application on my machine using either IE or Firefox as my default, the RadMenu displays over the flash movie. I then deploy the code to my development server. When I run the application (development server) using the Firefox browser on my machine the RadMenu displays over the flash movie.

When I run the application (development server) using IE browser on my machine the RadMenu displays behind the flash movie. This is the same IE (version 8) that my machine uses when running it locally on my machine.

I have tried everything but cannot see what is wrong. Attached is the code being generated using FireFox (embed) and IE(object). In both cases the wmode is set to opaque.Any thoughts on why it is displaying behind the flash movie when running IE using the development server only?

Hello,

Similar issues can happen due to a number of reasons. Here are several settings you can check:

• Often the browser's compatibility mode is set differently when running the application locally and when it is deployed. You can check if that is the case in Tools and try with Compatibility View turned off.
• You can specify the IE engine version to be used when rendering a page with the X-UA-Compatible META tag. You can find more information on it in this article.
