Brian Gardner · #1 12-11-2008, 07:57 AM

If your Video (Youtube, Vimeo, etc.) is not displaying in the background, BEHIND other content (lightboxes, etc) ... add the following parameter to the OBJECT tag:

Code:

<param name="wmode" value="transparent">

Add the following attribute to the EMBED tag:

Code:

wmode="transparent"

Example:

Code:

<object width="300" height="250"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/bJqCFzHUekk&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/bJqCFzHUekk&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="230" height="200" wmode="transparent"></embed></object>
