Position: Absolute A Div Over Flash

Is it possible to position: absolute a

over a Flash banner without adding wmode='transparent' to the banner? I have a lightbox that needs to appear above my ads but I

Solution 1:

No it's not but you can just hide the banners when the lightbox is active.

Solution 2:

I am afraid no, if this was the case, we wold not have resorted to wmode="transparent", but i hope there is a way around it.

Solution 3:

I haven't tested this, but you could try the iFrame hack you would apply for IE to show an absolute div over a select element. It consists of dynamically (or even hard-coded, why not) creating an iFrame container that you position above the Flash (in your case) with the lightbox content inside it.

Someone correct me if they tested and does not apply here, but even if it does, I wouldn't recommend it unless it's a life or death situation.

Solution 4:

set the wmode="transparent" attrobute using javascript ??

Jquery

$(document).ready(function() {  
    $('.flash_container embed').attr('wmode', 'transparent');  
});

Solution 5:

try

wmode="opaque"

i think this will allow html div to be displayed over flash. It works for me many times but it behaves differently in different browsers.
