Displaying Popup Window over Player in IE11

[masterK]

I'm embedding the VLC player on a webpage, the container in which it resides has a header with the option to launch a popup dialog. I cannot get the dialog to display on top of the player in Internet Explorer 11. It renders correctly in Chrome, Firefox and Safari.

Player:
<object width="0" height="0" id="vlc0" classid="clsid:9BE31822-FDAD-461B-AD51-BE1D1C159921" codebase="http://downloads.videolan.org/pub/video ... /axvlc.cab" events="True" z-index="0">
<embed width="100%" height="380" id="vlcEmb" type="application/x-google-vlc-plugin" target="rtsp://172.27.1.75/live.sdp" loop="no" autoplay="yes" z-index="-1" windowless="true" version="VideoLAN.VLCPlugin.2">
</object>

Div:
<div id="editID" class="btn-primary pull-right headerButton" style="z-index:100">

</div>

I've ensured the z-index of the div to be overlayed is higher than the player.

Is this a bug in with the player and is there a workaround?

Windowless is not supported yet on IE.

Windowless is not supported yet on IE.

Really? hm... then one could use FBVLC or WebChimera in FBVLC compatibility mode - them support windowless everywhere...
