HV Menu - sub menu under video

HV Menu
http://www.dynamicdrive.com/dynamici...menu/index.htm

I'm having a problem with the sub nav items falling under the embedded video I have on my pages. I've seen threads in the forums that addressed this similar issue, but with Flash. The fix for the Flash issue does not fix my problem with embedded video.

Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?

I dont believe you can, I dont keep up to date with all the W3 news but I know that whenever ive tried to layer any html content above media content such as .3DML, .SWF, .WMV and so forth, the embedded content is always above the HTML content, regardless of what layer you assign it in z-index. But as I said I dont keep up with all the W3 news so Iam not sure if this has been fixed yet with a download patch or something.

This is a moot point but, with swf there are ways that often work, as the OP mentions but, this is a different situation. Best thing I know of is to move the video away from the menu.

Yeah, I pretty much gave up hope. I guess now it's official.

Thanks for your input guys.

Wait a minute. I just found this DHTML menu website

Where that light bluish popup menu is above that flash object

That's flash (.swf) we already knew that could be done, this is a video (probably .mov), not a flash.

True, but at this point, I'm willing to try anything. I'll try to implement their trial version tonight and see what happens.

BTW...if it makes any difference...the video is in a Windows Media format(.wmv).

maybe the movie could be imported into flash and exported to *.SWF to emed onto the page so that you can layer objects above the 'video file' (which would just be a SWF file)

[tiba21]

I would definitely entertain that idea, if there wasn't 20-30 video clips (each having it's own hi and lo bandwidth versions).

Here's a link to my test page.

Iam getting an error message from that link
