z-index layering for HTML5 video (ipad)

Question

I am using the BrightCove smartplayer code to write an HTML5 video tag into the page. This code replaces the object tag with video tag so that it works on the iphone and ipad, whils still working in browser that dont support

The problem I am having is with the layering of this dynaically written in tag. It does not seem to obey the z-index order, resulting in the dropdowns I have placed above the video sitting behind the video when someone rolls over the dropdown.

Answer 1

Not sure if it applies to HTML5 video, but there's a similar issue with Flash video that can be solved by changing the "wmode" attribute.
