I require iframeText to always be on top of iframeFlash - regardless of the content inside iframeFlash. Right now, if the content inside iframeFlash has a video playing (e.g. YouTube), the video content will show through into iframeText - even if it has a solid background colour and a higher zIndex. IE 6, 7, and 8 all play ball, blocking out the Flash video content, but I cannot seem to get any other browser to do the same - Opera, Safari, Chrome, etc. I have full control over iframeText, and full control over the styling for 'iframeFlash' (e.g. zIndex, bg colour, etc). The only thing I cannot do is modify the contents of 'iframeFlash'. This means I have no access to set the 'wmode' parameter of the Flash object. Does anyone know of a way to get an iframe to sit on top of Flash content in another without having access to the 'wmode' parameter? I've tried using a canvas element inside iframeText (set to the full w&h, again with a bg colour), but the Flash shows thgouh this as well :( Thanks! Dan Loading...
