Topic: AWM drop down menu blocked

I'm using All Web Menus and wanted to set up a dropdown menu which is being blocked by SimpleViewer. I changed the language per one of your posts to show wmode=transparent, however, that didn't fix the problem. This is from www.pippincontemporary.com/alan/mygallery/soffernew.php

    <!--START SIMPLEVIEWER EMBED -->
    <script type="text/javascript" src="svcore/js/simpleviewer.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
    var params = {};
    params.wmode = "transparent";
      $(document).ready(function () {
       SV.simpleviewer.load(
         'sv-container',
         '950px',
         '950px',
         '666666',
         true), null, params;
  });
    </script>
    <div id="sv-container"></div>
    <!--END SIMPLEVIEWER EMBED -->

Assistance, please.

Re: AWM drop down menu blocked

In order to make a gallery's background transparent, you should use the word 'transparent' as the backgroundColor Embed Code Parameter.
Also, your embedding code has the closing ')' in the wrong place in the simpleviewer.load() line.

<!--START SIMPLEVIEWER EMBED -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="svcore/js/simpleviewer.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
    $(document).ready(function () {
        SV.simpleviewer.load('sv-container', '950px', '950px', 'transparent', true);
    });
</script>
<div id="sv-container"></div>
<!--END SIMPLEVIEWER EMBED -->

Incidentally, I notice that your gallery uses SimpleViewer-Pro v2.1.3. Upgrades are free within the same major version number so, if you like, you could download the latest version (v2.3.0) by using the download link from your purchase email. Please see 'Upgrading SimpleViewer-Pro' for details: http://www.simpleviewer.net/simpleviewe … grade.html
You could then upgrade your gallery to the latest version (which has several bugfixes since v2.1.3) by replacing the 'svcore' folder in your gallery with the 'svcore' folder from the SimpleViewer-Pro download package ('simpleviewer_pro_230/web/svcore/').
Your embedding code will still work fine in v2.3.0 but can be changed to the following:

<!--START SIMPLEVIEWER EMBED -->
<script type="text/javascript" src="svcore/js/simpleviewer.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
    simpleviewer.ready(function () {
        simpleviewer.load('sv-container', '950px', '950px', 'transparent', true);
    });
</script>
<div id="sv-container"></div>
<!--END SIMPLEVIEWER EMBED -->
