I have a page with a tutorial (http://www.poromenos.org/tutorials/bittorrent/download), but the site layout obscures the flash player, which is too wide. Is there a way to show the flash above the content through the z-order (or something else, lightbox-y)?
You could place IFrame with player- it would be above all page content
I would definitely suggest using a lightbox instead. If you just tried to push it up in the z-index you'll cover navigation which is going to cause you usability issues. I'm a big fan of FancyBox - it's pretty quick-n-easy and it uses jQuery which you are already using. Looking at the download page you can see the details on Inline Content with a Flash example.
Lightbox is a good way. Or you can just add link to the video or optimize player's size.

I have a video element that’s working beautifully with the standard controls in Safari (OS X 10.11 - El Capitan). I have play / pause, the scrubber, captions, and even AirPlay. …but there’s no full screen button. I swear I’ve seen that button on the normal controls before. The WebKit blog even has a screenshot with the button in an unrelated article (backdrop-filter is rad though, check it out).
Is this seriously not standard functionality?
I’ve added fullscreen to the video and source tags and even fullscreen="fullscreen" for good measure. The controls tag is working (I see the controls after all).
iOS’ controls are visually different and include the full screen button.
I’ve been hunting around and the most popular thing I can find is this super old StackOverflow article that basically says I need to use Javascript. That doesn't seem right. I feel like I’m taking crazy pills!
I suppose this could explain why so many sites roll their own controls using the JS hooks but it seems like a lot of work for expected functionality.
I realize I’m just asking for a ding in my pitiful reputation but I hope I’ve just missed something obvious.
Thank you in advance for your help / downvotes. :)
I was in a panic over the problem until I discovered that a <video> contained in a "popup window" instead of a regular window/tab is will cause the <video> tag to drop the fullscreen button in its controls.
My "page preview" happened to be launched in a pop-up window, and having maximized that, it took me a while to eliminate various factors before concluding that it was a popup vs. normal window/tab issue.
The behaviour that I experienced was in Chrome. I haven't tried it with other browsers.
Additionally: Also, note that within IFRAME also behaves the same way, dropping the fullscreen button, too (from the comments).
I figured this out, it was at least half stupidity.
Heading
I had the video element set to use max-width: 100% so it would fill the container on the page. I didn't think that would have any effect on the video's ability to go full screen.
No Metadata
The video didn't have any metadata to preload in the first place. I used an app to add a title to the file.
Does the fullscreen toggle button show up when you start playing the video?
According to Apple's documentation:
The webkitSupportsFullscreen property is not valid until the movie metadata has loaded. You can detect when the metadata is loaded by installing an event listener for the loadedmetadata event.
It seems there is some support in the video file that needs to be checked for before fullscreen support is enabled in the controls.
When viewing an HTML5 video on both Chrome and Safari, the fullscreen toggle button doesn't appear until the video has started playing.
EDIT: you might be able to get around this behavior by adding preload="metadata" to your video element.
I am just starting development on a JQuery Slider that will start with a video, and when the video is done the slider will begin. I'd like for the site to be able to work on both IE9 and lower, and the iPhone, which I assume will require an HTML5 option and a Flash option. I would like the slider to look like this:
http://popstache.com/
with a minimal UI, just the arrows and circles on the bottom allowing for slide selection.
I have been playing with Slidedeck at http://www.slidedeck.com/, and I know that videos can be embedded in it. My main concern right now is the video. I've heard about people using Flowplayer, but I'd rather not pay the $95 to remove the branding, and I do not believe that will work on the iPhone. Any suggestions? Thank you.
MediaFront's OSM Player is completely free.
So is jPlayer.
I'm working on a website that has rich content displayed in a Unity window. However, this Unity window sits under a navigation menu that has drop-downs, and drop-down menus are going behind the Unity window.
With Flash, this was easily solved by setting the wmode property to transparent. Is there a similar solution with Unity, or a different solution entirely that works and allows me to place standard HTML over the top of Unity windows?
Thanks in advance.

http://answers.unity3d.com/questions/10599/does-unity-have-an-embed-parameter-equivalent-to-f.html
The answer: there isn't a way to set some equivalent of the flash wmode=transparent but there is a workaround with setting the css visibility:hidden (or resizing to width:1px & height:1px)
So, kind of a hack, but you could set the menu's hover event to change visibility of the unity window as a workaround.
Old post, but this might help someone.
I can get HTML to display over the Unity window in Safari, Chrome, Firefox on my Mac and Windows IE 10 & 11 with a div. I can get it to always display with an iFrame in all windows. The trick with the iFrame is not all browsers support transparent iFrame, so sometimes you will see the iFrame, but not transparent. IE 8 does not support transparency at all and if its set to be on, then the iFrame will not display above the Unity screen.
DIV:
I basically float a DIV over the unity content. Content can be either plain HTML or Flash. Opacity seems to help make it work.
My situation is we have a menu that needs to display over the top part of the Unity window. Note that Unity is NOT in full screen mode, but sits in a Div. Maybe this is why I can do it??
Anyway- the code looks something like this:
<div>
<div><unity object></div>
<div style="position:absolute; opacity:.9">html or flash content</div>
</div>
The iFrame approach works fine for content that is always the same size, but if you have something like a combobox, then its an issue because the window needs to first resize the height to show the drop down, and then the iFrame background will cover all the content. A hack, is to open a SECOND iframe with the combobox. Sucks, but that is the way I had to do it..

Hi I want to disable the resizing the html web page by the user. How to do that
I want to disable the resize button and manual resizing by dragging. pls help
You can't, thank God.
When you open a new popup you can request it be unresizable using the feature resizable:
window.open('something.html', '_blank', 'resizable=no');
however modern browsers may ignore your request as it is considered egregiously user-hostile.
Use liquid layout to make your page respond flexibly to changes in window size, rather than attempting to set it in concrete. The web is inherently a variable-size medium, and mobile browser users get no input in how large their screen is anyway.
Pardon? Are you talking about resizing the browser window? If that's the case then you can't do this in HTML, or JavaScript as it would be a security risk allow web pages to control browsers behaviour.
If you want to get rid of scroll bars you can set the body tag to 'overflow: hidden' in CSS?
If you mean to stop the page shrinking and expanding in sympathy with browser window size, then use fixed width elements as supposed to relative (%)
In a webpage I need to show a div layer over the flash banner which is not using wmode=transparent setting.
How to solve it?
From what I remember you can shove the div into an <iframe> (perhaps using Javascript so you don't make a mess of your HTML).
Iframes are window objects like flash so they're able to overlay each other.
