flashgoogle-chromeiframeyoutubez-index

I have to show a div over the iframe which contains a flash video . The z-index of the div is set as 9999. but the ifarame is not having any z-index. But the div lies bellow the flash for Google Chrome, it works fine in IE 7/8/9 and Mozila Firefox.

The code i am using is

flash.html

    <!doctype html>
<html>
    <head>
        <title> Flash - zIndex</title>
    </head>
    <body>
        <div style="position : absolute;left:200px;top:200px;width:320px; height:220px;background-color:#fff;z-index:999;" >
            <iframe src="blank.html"  style="width:100%; height:100%;">
            </iframe>
        </div>
            <div id="textDiv" style="position : absolute; z-index:9999; left:200px;top:200px;border: 5px solid rgb(235, 127, 0);width:300px; height:200px;background-color:#fff;overflow:auto;">
            this is the text div
            </div>
        <div id="flashDiv" style="height: 150px;">
        </div>
            <iframe title="YouTube video player" width="640" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/3RD_3wooRjI" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
    </body>
</html>

blank.html

<!doctype html>
<html>
<head></head>
<body></body>
</html>

Please give some work around for this problem.

Thanks in advance,

Note : Please don't tell the solution as keeping "wmode=transparent" as a get parameter in the iframe src . as its not a generalized solution for this issue .

Best Answer

You can add a wmode parameter by query string.

Ex: src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/LSaoRSlqQzw?wmode=opaque"
