Flash object problem in firefox...

post a link so that we can look into that problem... or the code you used at least

No it's not a bug in Firefox. I've not had any problem with that. It's most likely something else in your code or CSS. Can you post a link?

Quite annoying!

That link wouldn't work for me, but try playing with the CSS. Try margins first. Also try display: block and see if that helps.

well i'm pretty rubbish at coding tbh, i just used dreamweaver to insert a flash object, but having looked on google people have been saying its a fault in firefox so i gave up really but that post above seemed to say otherwise so i'm not sure. The design is a tables design not CSS though.

Doesn't matter, you can still use CSS to fix your margins and padding. CSS is so not just for layout - it can be used to style everything. I've had this happen with images as well so I don't think it's necessarily a "fault" in firefox - possibly just a difference in how it handles things.

I was just looking at your portfolio site - you would have a ball with CSS if you gave it a chance It gives you so much more control over everything.

i probably will one of these days

I cant seem to find any difference in FF and IE here pertaining to the flash at the top. the alignment on the right text container isnt the same centered to thie image in the two browsers however...

the flash is positioned correctly, it's the navigation, it seems to move down a little...

IE

FF

What I cant understand is that you have succesfully imbed that same flash movie on your front page without having problems, but this particular page has problems...

nah it happens on all pages doesnt it?

actually that's the only page i have uploaded so not sure what you mean?

Either fixing the margins or doing the display: block like I said might work. It would also be helpful in cases like this to get rid of some of the nested tables. The less code you have the eaiser it is to troubleshoot problems

believe me i've tried looooads of different ways of settin them tables out last night, in the end though, i do think it's firefox's fault so there

This page shows why i think it :

I don't see anything in there that would suggest it's the fault of Firefox and indeed I haven't experienced this problem before.

Am looking at the code now and will post back when I can find an answer.

Ok, I have had this problem before, take a look at:

It's fixed? Hopefully your replying yes to that, the solution is actually very simple: Take the spaces out of anything to do with the Flash embedding. So the code for the td with the flash will look like:

<td background="solutions_files/topbg.gif" height="132"><div align="right"><object classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,29,0" height="132" width="200"><param name="movie" value="tester.swf"><param name="quality" value="high"><embed src="solutions_files/tester.swf" quality="high" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" height="132" width="200"></embed></object><img src="solutions_files/freefone.gif" height="132" width="338"></div></td>

It's dirty, I hate the fact you've used nested tables and I'd also be very suprised if this actually validated... But it works.

I also hate Flash, and tables, also Megan's right. You might actually enjoy CSS if you give it a shot, this code's a mess

Don't care about the code

If it works, it works - that's my philosophy. If it makes me a crap designer, so be it

Just tried that...cheers mate, owe you a pint

may i also apologise to Mr. Fire Fox for giving the blame

lol, no worries mate. I don't care if you don't care, but I do have to mention these things!

Mr Firefox says that's ok, he doesn't care either way as he's still better than ie.

the old one i mean the one where you have the tag problem before... that url you posted there have no nav bar problem. anyways its fixed now aint it...
