   (I've also posted this question on the WordPress forums...)

   My menu is disappearing behind YouTube videos.

   From this thread, I know the problem has to do with wmode="transparent":

   http://wordpress.org/support/topic/add-wmode-transparent-to-flash-videos?replies=7

   I tried both the filters linked there, and neither worked for me.

   Here's how YouTube is rendered:

   <object width="340" height="250" align="right" hspace="20" vspace="5"><param name="movie" value="https://www.youtube.com/v/W_f-kDyddVE?fs=1&hl=en_US&rel=0" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="340" height="250" src="https://www.youtube.com/v/W_f-kDyddVE?fs=1&hl=en_US&rel=0" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object>

   Both of the filters seem to be looking for something along the lines of </param><embed to find/replace. I don't see </param><embed anywhere in my source code. I tried modifying the filters to look for /><embed , but that didn't work.

   Any suggestions?

   why not just search for that first embed?

   maybe

   <embed type="application

   or something.

   then replace it with

   <param name="wmode" value="transparent"><embed type="application

   will be interested to see if you find a solution as i've seen youtube vids cover up things with astronomical zindexes.

   Helga,

   Thanks so much for responding!

   I ended up just using YouTube's old embed code and adding the code in myself. I'm hoping oEmbed will recongnize this problem and come up with a solution eventually.

   Thanks for all your wonderful help. I've learned so much from you -- thank you for sharing.
