Controlling the position of a popup (help)

[TNCclubman]

Here's the CSS for a fade in popup (in a layer). My problem is that flash banners are showing up through the popup and affecting the readability of the graphic on that popup. Basically the popup is coming in right in the center of the page. If I can get the popup to come up on the left of the browser window, it will avoid the flash banner.

Or is there a code I can add to the window to not allow flash content to show through?

#fa {
    background: #000;
    text-align: center;
    font-family: Arial,sans-serif;
    padding: 10px;
    width: 800px;
    border: 2px solid #666;
    position: absolute;
    margin: 0 auto;
    top: 50px;
    display: none;
    opacity: 0;
    KHTMLOpacity: 0;
    filter: alpha(opacity=0);
    -moz-opacity: 0;
    z-index: 1000;
}

#fa a {
    text-decoration: none;
    border: none;
    font-size: 9px;
    color: #333;
}

#fa img {
    border: none;
}

#fa .fa_close {
    position: absolute;
    top: 5px;
    right: 5px;
}

#fa.show {
    display: block;

That sounds like the same problem as in these threads:

Mike says you need to set WMODE in the flash element:

<param name="wmode" value="transparent">

Is this something I can add into the ad delivery system, or is this something the creator of the flash banners have to do before they send me the ready made flash banner?

You can add it directly to the embed code:

Editing HTML code manually

To edit an existing HTML page, add the WMODE parameters to the HTML code.

1. Add the following parameter to the OBJECT tag:
   
   <param name="wmode" value="transparent">
2. Add the following parameter to the EMBED tag:
   wmode="transparent"

that only works if Im adding a static flash movie in the page via html. But what about if Im using an ad delivery script to deliver the flash ads? There is no way to add that.

If you have control over the script then you should be able to modify the output. Otherwise I don't know how you would implement this.
