An Embedded YT Video Covers Popup! Is there ANY way to fix this?

I have a popup on my page that pops up when they are about to leave the page by clicking the exit button. The only problem is that i also have an embedded YT video on my site and if they go to exit the site the YT video covers the popup. Not totally but just wherever the video is at it covers up that part of the popup and there is no way for them to put in their info.

Is there any way I can make my popup go OVER the YT video? This has been costing me Opt ins for sure.

thanks!

    Trying to answer this question without seeing the page may be a little tricky.
    Does this page use css?
    Could you post a link so I could try to help you?

    OK Jake,
    Heres your solution. Its very simple. First open the source for your main html page and search for the section that embeds your video. It looks like this:
    <embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Zwz0Qxd-inY&hl=en&autoplay=1"

    type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true"

    width="425" height="344" ></embed></object></FONT></STRONG></P>
    <P align=center><STRONG><FONT size=1><IMG title="fat loss 4 idiots picture" alt="fat

    loss 4 idiots picture" hspace=0 src="lose30poundsin30dayspicture.jpg" align=baseline

    border=1></P></FONT></STRONG>.


    Ok Now your e going to add one small bit of code it looks like this: wmode="transparent"

    You need to put this in your embed tag. I put it right after :width="425" height="344" >

    so now that part looks like this:width="425" height="344" wmode="transparent"

    Thats all you really need to do just save your changes and upload to your server and youre all set.

    Sorry about the delay but I dealing with a back injury and couldn't sit at the computer too long today. Hope this helps you out.
