Google map covering dropdown menus

Using wmode transparent is the normal way to do it with objects that have been embeded, but it’s more complicated with Google Maps because of the way they programatically embed the map and the use of iframes.

I’ll look into some of the workarounds out there and try to implement one for a future release.

If you want to dig into it in the meantime, here are a few links that might be helpful

If you find a working solution, let me know and I’ll add it to the codebase.
