I recently had an issue with some flash movies appearing above all content pneumonia the page. I tried giving absolutely positioned elements a very high zindex, bit it did not help art all. Search in Google for similar problem revealed that flash can be played in several modes.

By default all movies are played in window mode which allowes them to perform the best but such oddities as flash always on top will be happening.

Fixing my issue was rather easy. I just needed to add a wmode=opaque to the flash object. Job done.

My colleague found this jQuery plugin. It allows you to sort and filter tables. It works for both IE and FF, but in IE it is pretty slow.
