video player overlaps the drop down menu (operated by nice menus module via css and javascript in IE).

i tried to change video.css where #video-player { position: relative; z-index: -1; }
but to no avail. (the menu block drop-down is positioned and has a higher z-index).

thank you very much for any help

sorry but i think this is something different not related to video player background, but to video player itself. see attached screenshot. In the page on the left the menu drops down correctly overlapping everything else. In the page on the right the menu drop down is overlapped by the video player (with wmode correctly set as transparent).

apparently flash and i guess all the plug-ins in current browsers stay on top of everything else.

see this commentary from another thread on the same topic:
