This is a web development question and probably not appropriate for
this list, but:
- If the plugin is windowed, consulting your favorite search engine
for [iframe shim] will put you on the right track.
- If the plugin supports windowless mode, it layers like a normal HTML
element.  E.g. see [flash wmode] for discussion of this for Flash.
