When having a form to next to a video component, if there is a form error, the error message appears BEHIND the video (flash) on PCs.

Looks like the positioning of the error content is dependent on the window size and gets set dynamically through .js on button submit. Is there a way to override this and position the error message with CSS, or is there a solution to for the error message to appear above the video component?

In order for Flash video to appear on top of overlapping HTML elements you need to set a param called “wmode” to “transparent” in the flash embed code.

Here is some information from Adobe’s website:

At present there is no practical way to manual position the form error messages.
