The code in the post that is from José Nobile (5 posts before this one) works on my page in Firefox but not in IE8... No change is registered to the embedded flash movie's wmode parameter... anyone got this to work in IE7/8? I can post a link to the page I'm working on if anyone wishes to explore why it isn't working. cheers I also have played with all the scripts on this page..

I spent days trying this in DOM, and was only successful with the embed tag (Firefox, etc) and not the object tags (Internet Explorer). Don't know why. You're way of just replacing the html works even for Internet Explorer. Thanks, Shlomo You're amazing.
