Fix- Flash object overlap other html element in IE browser
Few days back I got one issue while developing a asp.net web application. The issue is related to flash object was being hiding the modal popup. I got the resolution on internet but that was not efficient as we have to add wmode param to every flash object. If flash object has been embed from server side code e.g, in case of fusionchart then its a headache.
Finally, I got one JavaScript function which will do the job without adding wmode param manually in the flash object. It searches the flash object on the whole page and add wmode param for all the flash objects on page
// loop through every embed tag on the site
var embeds = document.getElementsByTagName('embed');
for (i = 0; i < embeds.length; i++) {
// everything but Firefox & Konqueror
var html = embed.outerHTML;
// replace an existing wmode parameter
if (html.match(/wmode\s*=\s*('|")[a-zA-Z]+('|")/i))
new_embed = html.replace(/wmode\s*=\s*('|")window('|")/i, "wmode='transparent'");
// add a new wmode parameter
new_embed = html.replace(/<embed\s/i, "<embed wmode='transparent' ");
// replace the old embed object with the fixed version
embed.insertAdjacentHTML('beforeBegin', new_embed);
embed.parentNode.removeChild(embed);
// cloneNode is buggy in some versions of Safari & Opera, but works fine in FF
new_embed = embed.cloneNode(true);
if (!new_embed.getAttribute('wmode') || new_embed.getAttribute('wmode').toLowerCase() == 'window')
new_embed.setAttribute('wmode', 'transparent');
embed.parentNode.replaceChild(new_embed, embed);
// loop through every object tag on the site
var objects = document.getElementsByTagName('object');
for (i = 0; i < objects.length; i++) {
// object is an IE specific tag so we can use outerHTML here
var html = object.outerHTML;
// replace an existing wmode parameter
if (html.match(/<param\s+name\s*=\s*('|")wmode('|")\s+value\s*=\s*('|")[a-zA-Z]+('|")\s*/?\>/i))
new_object = html.replace(/<param\s+name\s*=\s*('|")wmode('|")\s+value\s*=\s*('|")window('|")\s*/?\>/i, "<param name='wmode' value='transparent' />");
// add a new wmode parameter
new_object = html.replace(/</object\>/i, "<param name='wmode' value='transparent' />\n</object>");
// loop through each of the param tags
var children = object.childNodes;
for (j = 0; j < children.length; j++) {
if (children[j] != null) {
var theName = children[j].getAttribute('name');
if (theName != null && theName.match(/flashvars/i)) {
new_object = new_object.replace(/<param\s+name\s*=\s*('|")flashvars('|")\s+value\s*=\s*('|")[^'"]*('|")\s*/?\>/i, "<param name='flashvars' value='" + children[j].getAttribute('value') + "' />");
// replace the old embed object with the fixed versiony
object.insertAdjacentHTML('beforeBegin', new_object);
object.parentNode.removeChild(object);
call above function in $(document).ready(function)
