    Light Box Photos Appear BEHIND Embedded youtube thumbnail (IE)

    Does anyone please have a solution to my light box images showing up behind the embedded youtube video thumbnail on my page? It only happens in IE 8 (of course). Please see example here: http://www.autobahnperf.com/TechNews...e-bearing.html

    I appreciate any suggestions, thank you!

    Please post your lightbox code along with any CSS associated to it.

      Hello Rabbit, thanks for the reply. FYI: I only know basics in html code. I believe this is the only css. There are 5 .js files.

      Code:
      #lightbox{	position: absolute;	left: 0; width: 100%; z-index: 100; text-align: center; line-height: 0;}
      #lightbox img{ width: auto; height: auto;}
      #lightbox a img{ border: none; }
      
      #outerImageContainer{ position: relative; background-color: #fff; width: 250px; height: 250px; margin: 0 auto; }
      #imageContainer{ padding: 10px; }
      
      #loading{ position: absolute; top: 40%; left: 0%; height: 25%; width: 100%; text-align: center; line-height: 0; }
      #hoverNav{ position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; height: 100%; width: 100%; z-index: 10; }
      #imageContainer>#hoverNav{ left: 0;}
      #hoverNav a{ outline: none;}
      
      #prevLink, #nextLink{ width: 20%; height: 10%; background-image: url(data:image/gif;base64,AAAA); /* Trick IE into showing hover */ display: block; }
      #prevLink { left: 0; float: left;background: url(../images/prevlabel.gif) left 100% no-repeat;}
      #nextLink { right: 0; float: right;background: url(../images/nextlabel.gif) right 100% no-repeat;}
      #prevLink:hover, #prevLink:visited:hover { background: url(../images/prevlabel.gif) left 100% no-repeat; }
      #nextLink:hover, #nextLink:visited:hover { background: url(../images/nextlabel.gif) right 100% no-repeat; }
      
      #imageDataContainer{ font: 10px Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif; background-color: #fff; margin: 0 auto; line-height: 1.4em; overflow: auto; width: 100%	; }
      
      #imageData{	padding:0 10px; color: #666; }
      #imageData #imageDetails{ width: 85%; float: left; text-align: left; }	
      #imageData #caption{ font-weight: reg;	}
      #imageData #numberDisplay{ display: block; clear: left; padding-bottom: 1.0em;	}			
      #imageData #bottomNavClose{ width: 66px; float: right;  padding-bottom: 0.7em; outline: none;}	 	
      
      #overlay{ position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; z-index: 90; width: 100%; height: 500px; background-color: #000; }

        There may be 5 js files but I assume only one is related to the lightbox.

          here is the light box js

          Code:
          LightboxOptions = Object.extend({
              fileLoadingImage:        'images/loading.gif',     
              fileBottomNavCloseImage: 'images/closelabel.gif',
          
              overlayOpacity: 0.8,   // controls transparency of shadow overlay
          
              animate: true,         // toggles resizing animations
              resizeSpeed: 7,        // controls the speed of the image resizing animations (1=slowest and 10=fastest)
          
              borderSize: 10,         //if you adjust the padding in the CSS, you will need to update this variable
          
          	// When grouping images this is used to write: Image # of #.
          	// Change it for non-english localization
          	labelImage: "Image",
          	labelOf: "of"
          }, window.LightboxOptions || {});
          
          // -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
          
          var Lightbox = Class.create();
          
          Lightbox.prototype = {
              imageArray: [],
              activeImage: undefined,
              
              // initialize()
              // Constructor runs on completion of the DOM loading. Calls updateImageList and then
              // the function inserts html at the bottom of the page which is used to display the shadow 
              // overlay and the image container.
              //
              initialize: function() {    
                  
                  this.updateImageList();
                  
                  this.keyboardAction = this.keyboardAction.bindAsEventListener(this);
          
                  if (LightboxOptions.resizeSpeed > 10) LightboxOptions.resizeSpeed = 10;
                  if (LightboxOptions.resizeSpeed < 1)  LightboxOptions.resizeSpeed = 1;
          
          	    this.resizeDuration = LightboxOptions.animate ? ((11 - LightboxOptions.resizeSpeed) * 0.15) : 0;
          	    this.overlayDuration = LightboxOptions.animate ? 0.2 : 0;  // shadow fade in/out duration
          
                  // When Lightbox starts it will resize itself from 250 by 250 to the current image dimension.
                  // If animations are turned off, it will be hidden as to prevent a flicker of a
                  // white 250 by 250 box.
                  var size = (LightboxOptions.animate ? 250 : 1) + 'px';
                  
          
                  // Code inserts html at the bottom of the page that looks similar to this:

            The z-indexes in the youtube video are way higher than your z-indexes. Try adding this to the iframe element.
            Code:
            <iframe width="667" height="403" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/xvLRMGs-Ti8?wmode=transparent" frameborder="0" wmode="Opaque" allowfullscreen>
            </iframe>

                I don't know if you did that before or after I modified my post but you also need to add a new parameter to the url per post #6.

                  Sorry 'bout that, I did not see the full code in post 6. I now added your revised iframe code, and it works fine now. I have had this problem with other websites too. I really appreciate your help Rabbit, thank you!
