I have a small issue on my site. Users are allowed to embed Youtube videos. With the new update Youtube had recently where the player was changed, for some reason while a video is playing the only thing one can see on bottom of the video is the volume bar. So the play/pause button, the watch on youtube button, the full screen button, those cannot be seen. Those buttons are actually there and can be clicked even, if you know where they are. But they're not visible, so that's a problem.

This is the code used in my theme for Youtube videos:

Code:
echo '<iframe style="margin-right:10px;margin-bottom:10px" width="400" height="400" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/'.$code_here.'"

Does anyone have any idea how to fix this?

Thanks
 
Actually, I just checked it and it's doing it only on Firefox. On Chrome and Internet Explorer it works fine. Weird shit...

It works fine on Internet Explorer but not on Firefox. What's wrong with the world today? I'm not leaving the house today. A fridge might fall on my head out of the sky. That's an impossibility for it to work on IE but not on the 100 times better Firefox. Wow...
 
Try to put insert z-index 99 or something high like that, I think it won't help but worth a try..

Thanks man. I tried it, but it didn't make any difference.
 
Have you checked are there any updates in the embedding code?
Maybe You Tube changed the embedding code?

I did look into that. Tried googling about it. I didn't really find anything helpful about that.

Thing is, it works fine on Chrome and on Internet Explorer. It's just not working fine on Firefox. I even eventually ran into an embedded video on some other website, played it, and had the same issue. It must be a Firefox problem or something. I don't know, really.
