Title: Fix: Youtube embed in IE ignores z-index values

In Internet Explorer 11 (most probably 10 and below, too), when embedding a Youtube video which relies on the flash player to be played, we noticed that the player object stays on top of all other objects: header bar and even the IE11 scroll bar when the width is set to 100%.

This seems to be a well-known problem: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9074365/youtube-video-embedded-via-iframe-ignoring-z-index

Apparently, setting wmode="transparent" on the iframe (as it already is) isn't enough.
By providing the URL parameter "?wmode=transparent", the flash object ( element) in the iframe will get the parameter wmode="transparent", which solves the issue.
