Hv menu v5.5 and embeded youtube video

[TheJoshMan]

I'm recanting my previous post...

I hadn't actually downloaded the script you're working with to test, I was just giving basic info about css.

To fix your problem, you need to open the file "menu_com.js" and look for this line:

var Ztop=100

When you've found that line... Replace it with this:

var Ztop=1001

This will change the z-index of the layer that menu is on.

Hope all this helps!

Thanks again Nyne Lyvez

Ill alter the code in the next few minutes and let you know if it works.

I tried changing the var Ztop to 1001 with no luck.


Thanks for your assistance

try adding this to your css stylesheet...

object,parm,embed{
z-index:50 !important;
}

That is assuming you left the bit of code I gave you in my previous post to change the z-index of the menu to 1001.

Do you mean i should go back to the menu.com.js file and change the var z-index back to 1001?

[TheJoshMan]

yes, change Ztop back to 1001....

then add the above to your css stylesheet


Let me know if it works or not

Hi Nyne Lyvez

Sorry about this but the HV menu doesnt have a related css file, ive been looking through my files trying to find a css reference to it but there isnt one.

I should have known this, but im having a bad day.

Im not sure how i can proceed with this now, obviously is completley controlled via the two javascript files.

Sorry to waste your time

Thanks for your help though, much appreciated

Geez, the z-index shouldn't matter (though may be required for a final tweak). The menu should already go over normal elements. I thought it was commonly known around here, but apparently not. For HTML to appear over Flash, you need wmode transparent:

Add in this language to your object/embed tag -

Add the following parameter to the OBJECT tag:

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

Add the following attribute to the EMBED tag:

wmode="transparent"

Hi jscheuer1

Ill have a play around adding the extra code you posted, but could you please show me where to place it in the code below?

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