I wouldn't put Flash as the single cause for this... I have a table of ~ 30 rows that i tried to wire in a hover event which colored/de-colored the row the user was over so it was obvious what row they were one.... moving the mouse in and out very quickly made the "out" event not fire resulting in multiple rows being highlighted (technically is was changing/removing a background-color)
This was on our company intranet site, i'll rip out some HTML and post up a sample if that helps diagnose.... first thing i will do is rip out the ".hover" wiring and use "mouseenter" and "mouseleave" to see if that fixes the issue On Oct 20, 7:52 pm, "Karl Rudd" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Oh, you're working with Flash... hmmm that's probably the reason. > Getting events from "object" or "embed" nodes can be... tricky, in my > very limited experience. > > My suggestion is that you drop the SIFR menu items and use background > images.
