YouTube/Flash Video Overlays Lightbox Images

[Plok 336]

See this news post for the problem: http://forums.cncnz.com/index.php?showtopic=15128

 

Sample of the problem. Click on the image previews to see what happens in IE8 or Chrome....

 

What to do? The video collides with the pictures when they're magnified in the lightbox. How to edit that?

Yeah, it seems like all the magnified images using the lightbox code to be collided with other youtube videos around here. Anyway I've changed the video and it seems to be working perfectly now. It's been reported.

Then we mustn't use Youtube and pics in the same article until the problem is solved.

dbjs2009 sent me PM about that, but like I said to him I don't what problem is. It doesn't doing anything like that for me in Firefox 4 or IE9. Screen shots...

Then there is a problem with IE8 and the browser dbjs2009 uses.

Seems to happen with Google Chrome as well, just tested it out and indeed the video loves to stay on top of the pictures.

I'm using IE8 too

Strangely enough, videos on ModDB don't collide with images. dbjs2009 fixed that in the original post, and some wise guy returned the YouTube one.

So I think I've narrowed down what is causing the issue. I can confirm it only affects IE8 and Chrome. Firefox 4 and IE9 are fine.

 

The problem is with the YouTube code, well more like how IE8 and Chrome process the code. A few months a go I updated the embed code here on the forums to use YouTube's new IFRAME code, as opposed to the old OBJECT code. The new IFRAME code is better but as we causes a conflict with Lightbox images. I don't have a solution to correct the YouTube IFRAME code just yet. If it were the old YouTube OBJECT code I could fix it easily, well there wouldn't be anything to fix.

 

So until its solved the only thing to do is not embed a YouTube video and Lightbox image in the same news update.

Well, in Opera (v11.00), the underlying playing video just turns completely black when looking at a pic. Which is just fine; if you're looking at the pic you're not looking at the vid anyway.
