What you really want to do is look up flash satay. Using the OBJECT
element, you can nest content that is not accessible to users without
flash, eg:
<object>
<img src="static image">
<ul>
<li><a href="links">Links</a></li>
</ul>
</object>
You will have to look up the relavent markup to do this.
You do not want to set an element to display none because it will not be
accessible either. IMHO display none should only be used for printing,
eg.
@media print{
div#menu
}
