Question

Edit: I thought I solved it but I didn’t.

I have javascript that gathers elements on a webpage and puts them in a lightbox on top of the page. It works fine for your every day page but on Youtube the videos show through. I looked and found out about wmode = “transparent”. So what I have tried is…

var youtubevideo = document.getElementsByTagName('link');
var len = youtubevideo.length;
for(var i=0;i<len;i++){
    //youtubevideo[i].setAttribute('wmode', "transparent");
    youtubevideo[i].href += "?wmode=transparent";
    alert(youtubevideo[i].href);
}

The alert verifies I am doing nothing wrong as far as doing what I intend to do. You can also see where I have commented out the other way I tried it. Is there a way I didn’t find to accomplish this?

Answer 1

I found out you need to make the video reload. You can do this by copying the src to another variable then change the src to “” and then change the src again to the variable you saved the original src in.
