How to dynamically add wmode="opaque" to already displaying embed elements? Without reloading the elements, the embedded content should not lose its state.
Just setting the wmode attribute with javascript doesn’t work.
Removing the element and then adding it again makes wmode take effect, but the flash element loses its state, among other problems. E.g if it’s a video player its position/playback status resets. So that solution is no good.
Any other way of displaying content over the embedded element is acceptable as well.
(I’m doing this trough a content script in a Chrome extension if that is of any help.)
This is not a duplicated of How to dynamically add wmode=transparent to Youtube embed code? as there the parameter is added to a frame and not directly to the element it self.
iframemasks out the part of the flash it’s over, allowing other elements to display over it. At least in Chrome.This is what YouTube uses for their play list bar (at the bottom of the view port).
