I've tried setting the zIndex for my OBJECT and it seems that I cannot place any content above it. Is this an IE issue? Any workarounds? I'm trying to display a lightbox type dialog directly above the OBJECT.
A:
Try adding this parameter to the object:
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />

That only makes sense if the object he's talking about is Flash (which it may very well be; he didn't specify).

A:
Since you've specified that it wasn't flash, the other way to fix this problem is by using a technique known as an IFrame Shim.
The technique basically involves putting an IFrame between your object your content.

A:
If all else fails, and your object has a fairly consistent appearance, you can swap in an image of it when the lightbox opens.
Or, if the object doesn't need to be visible underneath the lightbox, you can just remove the object and then re-append it when the lightbox closes.
