When using Drop Down Navigation, your drop down menus are overlapped by Flash elements, such as an embedded YouTube video in your Feature Slider.
This is because the default behavior for Flash always overlap any sort of HTML attempting to be layered on top of it. Fixing that so that drop down menus appear correctly above the flash requires an easy modification to the way flash videos are embedded on the website.
YouTube's iframe embed code
Add the following parameter to the URL:
?wmode=opaque
Old code: <iframe width="516" height="380" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/T6MhAwQ64c0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
New code: <iframe width="516" height="380" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/T6MhAwQ64c0?wmode=opaque" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
YouTube's older embed code
There are two elements you need to add to your video code to override this issue.
- Add <param name="wmode" value="opaque"></param> directly after your opening "object" tag
- Add wmode="opaque" within your embed tag
<object width="516" height="380"> <param name="wmode" value="opaque"></param> <param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/T6MhAwQ64c0&hl=en_US&fs=1?hd=1&showinfo=0"></param> <param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param> <param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param> <embed wmode="opaque" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/T6MhAwQ64c0&hl=en_US&fs=1?hd=1&showinfo=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="516" height="380"></embed> </object>
