Hi,
I'm having some problems with the blip.tv videos. It seems that some sort of white stripe is blocking the controls area, and dissapears when scrolling.

I'm using firefox and this is the link:

any ideas on how to solve that? Am I doing something wrong?

Are you using the new flash player 10? I've seen some display bugs while using this new version of flash player.

(The white overlay seems to be caused by the flash content (the blip-tv player) ).

I've turned off a lot of the CSS (using FireBug in FF) to try to see if there would be any of it that would cause some problem, but no luck there.

Give us some more feedback on your tests.

*EDIT

Forget about my first intuition... The probem seems to be caused by the use of the z-index property in one of your "footer" sections... z-index is a strange beast and should be used with care... maybe setting a z-index to your blip.tv container might solve the issue, maybe it won't. Make sure to make it play nice with IE7 at least, even if it's annoying to figure out the best combination to satisfy this beast. (IE implementation of the z-index property is sub-par at best...)

Hope this helps!

Yeah I was thinking about z index too, I'll make some tests with that and see how it goes.

Thanks

It's fine in Safari...but Blip loads slow.

Did you insert the clear in there after the vid?


<div class='cl'>
<!-- -->
</div>

I could see this maybe being an issue. That should come after the images...

Solved it. (I think)

Had to do the footer, but not exactly with the z-index but the background position. I took that out and placed the div in it's correct place with some bottom tweaking.

thanks again!
