I have superfish menus which behave nicely, dropping ABOVE all page content with the exception of a views slideshow containing vimeo videos - which are not simply embedded (using vimeo site's embed code) but imported through the Media:Vimeo module.

In IE the superfish menu drops behind the Vimeo videos, but works fine in all other browsers.

Viewing the source shows me that the following parameter is used:

And I've made sure that the superfish menu and its container have a high z-index (99) and the views-content has a low z-index (2).

What is more confusing is that I also have a page with a single Vimeo video embedded using standard embed code (i.e. embed code taken from Vimeo site) and the dropdown does not drop behind it.

I can't tell whether the issue lies with the Views Slideshow, or the Media:Vimeo module. Regardless I've set the z-indexes on both the slideshow divs and the Media:Vimeo divs to 2, but this makes no difference.

Does anyone have any suggestions that I can try?

I can confirm that the problem is with Media:Vimeo, as if I view any of my video nodes standalone the superfish menu drops behind it.

Is anyone able to help me with this.

If I have youtube or vimeo videos embedded with the code they provide (if you ask to share->embed) giving an iframe format that is ipad/iphone compatible (thanks to Apple really).

However superfish menus drop behind the content.

I believe this is half explained in the discussion here - http://drupal.org/node/925002.

But basically if you embed with the 'old' format, and have wmode="transparent", then superfish menus go over the video content beautifully. However the videos can't be viewed on ipads/iphones etc. If you use the 'new' format, which is within an iframe, they can be viewed on the ipads/iphones but superfish drops behind.

Is anyone aware of a way of using the 'new' embed format PLUS superfish whereby the menus drop over the video?
