That "wmode" attribute is used to specify that plugin content be sent to the browser for compositing, instead of being drawn directly to screen. Such browser composition allows for transparent backgrounds and layering with HTML elements, but as Phillippe points out, there is a performance cost to this extra rendering step. For "Where does 'wmode' work?" then there are two dependencies: (a) whether the current browser offers this ability to plugins; and (b) whether that plugin offers this ability in that browser. For OBJECT/EMBED, EMBED was used first, then Microsoft used OBJECT, and a few years later the W3C declared that EMBED was improper. When you're researching whether a particular browser offers WMODE support, then it's good to doublecheck which tags they used during this testing...! jd -- John Dowdell .
