Layers appear below other elements on a page

IssueLayers will not display over form elements or embedded content, such as Flash (SWF) movies. Fireworks 4's pop-up menus also will not display over these elements.

Reason

Form elements
Form elements, such as Jump Menus or Text Fields, retain the focus of the page. Different form elements may retain focus in different browsers. As such, it is best to preview pages in a wide variety of browsers to determine how focus will be handled.
Plugin content
Embedded content relies on a plugin to play in the browser window. The plugin does not allow HTML content to overlap its own content.

Solution
Design the page's content so that layers or pop-up menus do not overlap form elements or embedded content. If inserting pop-up menus into another HTML page, test the location of the pop-up menus by previewing the page in a browser.

Additional information
For more details about changing the location of pop-up menus, please refer toChanging the location of a Pop-up Menu exported from Fireworks (TechNote 15001).
