A good lightbox alternative, extremely lightweight (22kb!)

There are issues with flash overlapping the greybox in Firefox 2+.? After hours of playing around I came up with the solution below:

1. Add wmode=”opaque” to the embed tag

2. Add the paramater: param name=”wmode” value=”opaque”

3. Put the flash content in a div, and set the z-index of that div to 2.

4. Place the content you are wanting to display in the greybox also in a div, with a z-index of 1.

Presto!
