Here is the line of code I use to display a page’s unique ID.

WordPress Tricks: How to fix the issue of YouTube videos appearing on top of other content

Here is the code I use to make sure the embedded YouTube videos on a website don’t appear on top of other content (for example: drop down menus):

<object width='400' height='350'> 
    <param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/YOURVIDEOLINK'> 
    <param name='type' value='application/x-shockwave-flash'> 
    <param name='allowfullscreen' value='true'> 
    <param name='allowscriptaccess' value='always'> 
    <param name="wmode" value="opaque" />
    <embed width='400' height='350'
            src='http://www.youtube.com/YOURVDIDEOLINK'
            type='application/x-shockwave-flash'
            allowfullscreen='true'
            allowscriptaccess='always'
            wmode="opaque"
    ></embed> 
    </object>

The areas of code highlighted in red above are what solve the overlapping/z-index problem, so if you already have your video embedded on your site, simply add those sections in the right place in your code and that should solve the issue.
