wmode

Here's my code: I've got a flash slideshow on my page. I've used thickbox for login but when someone clicks on the login, the flash overlays thickbox.

for a business reasons I need to overly Flash video player with HTML content. This requires the WMODE to be set as "opaque".

// Edit: The issue now appears to be confined to Safari for Windows. Around the time Safari for Windows 4 came out I started hearing from users that wmode=transparent was no longer working in Safari.
