Hi manfer,
I know you've been busy making the PageEar module as perfect as humanly possible. I've been using it for a while with big satisfaction.

Today however, I discovered a small bug. If there is an embed YouTube video on the page, the PageEar peels UNDERNEATH it instead of OVER it. Check out this website and you'll know what I mean: http://www.selfdefensetutorial.com
It should peel OVER the embed video not underneath it, right?

Can you do anything to fix this issue?

I have tested Safari and Firefox MAC and looks fine, it comes over and not underneath but it is probable that any other browser fails if you report that. I'm going to test some other environments.

Anyway, could you tell me the method you use to embed the youtube content? With a module to do the job, with a direct embed with the youtube embed code...?

If you use the code provided by youtube it is probably what I explain in this FAQ on the home page. So if you are using a code like this:

<object width="560" height="340"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/3BZbygF_yUw&hl=es_ES&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/3BZbygF_yUw&hl=es_ES&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"></embed></object>

maybe including the wmode would solve your issue:

<object width="560" height="340"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/3BZbygF_yUw&hl=es_ES&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><param name="wmode" value="opaque"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/3BZbygF_yUw&hl=es_ES&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340" wmode="opaque"></embed></object>

Look the wmode included in two places: in a param tag and as an attribute for embed tag.

If you are using any other method I would need to know that other method to try to see how they embed the youtube video.

But this is something difficult to solve on pageear because the problem comes from the embedded youtube flash player.

I take this oportunity to inform you, Pageear is going to be deprecated in favor of Curlypage. Curlypage is just exacty the same module, but there was a need to change the name. The upgrade from pageear to curlypage is easy, just look the instructions in Pageear project page or in the install.txt file included in Curlypage.

Confirmed in Firefox Linux, for example, it goes underneath. I suppose some other combinations browser/OS would make it go underneath.

But I have confirmed too that if you insert the wmode in the code provided by youtube as I explained before, it solves the issue.

I only need to know if you use some other method and you are not able to insert the wmode.
