Full screen background : alt for IE – a still image ?

Thanks Devin
The page looks perfect, but I don’t have IE8. I appreciate your attention.
I currently have the page at http://www.ccrasa.com/application-1/
I wrote just to check IE8 yesterday. I had viewed a similar page in Firefox to use firebug and I had video, but not today. Today Firefox is giving just one still frame from the video. I don’t know what happened there.
We’d be happy with just a still image on IE8 , but wouldn’t want to lose Firefox as well

I am so close to a brilliant page, but don’t at the moment have the website as it is wanted. I’ll be so glad to get past this display hurdle and focus on the huge data collection project that we have next. I’m grateful for any help you give.

My other issues with this page

• We want to completely get rid of the header, menu title-bar, everything, for the opening page and have the video all the way to the top, the floating boxes are the navigation. I read through a previous article and am trying to hide it with
  .page-id-67 #footer, .page-id-67 #socket, .page-id-67 .main_menu, .page-ic-67 #header_main { display: none; }
  This removed most, but left the actual menu container there with contents removed. It should be easy to remove but although I’ve used firbug I haven’t been able to hide it yet. Today I have taken a step backwards and the css isn’t working at all ? I’m confused by this
• The second issue is resolved already, but I thought it might be of interest to someone The boxes you see are html placed with the “post snippets” plugin, The front page and several other second level sub-category pages were made in html. Some of these boxes on the page you see ” http://www.ccrasa.com/application-1/ ” I’m finding now that ‘boxes’ linking to wordpress pages work fine, but those linking to html page add the current page as a “folder”, ” http://www.ccrasa.com/application-1/about-us.html “, and so I get a 404. Once I know that the front page works then I will remake all the subcategory pages within WordPress, which is better.
