Re: [WSG] IE7 Flash
hello adam, Ive been trying to implement this brilliant solution but must be missing something silly. Can you tell me what im doing wrong? an external "faxa.js" file with this script: /* list of offending elements to fix */ var offenders = ["object","embed","applet"]; /* foreach offender */ for(var j=0; j
RE: [WSG] IE7 Flash
As well as previously mentioned solutions, if you are using Dreamweaver there is now an upgrade file you can download from adobe.com which auto includes the required JS to fix this issue - there are also new flash templates if you can download if you are just using Flash Wendy Phillips

You don’t have to train your users to click on flash content twice, with a little of JS magic everything is solved: http://blog.deconcept.com/swfobject/ I have used and I know a lot of people have used too, it validates and works like a charm. …helmut From: listdad@webstandardsgroup.org [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Berman, Pamela E Sent: Tuesday, May 30, 2006 1:50 PM To: wsg@webstandardsgroup.org Subject: RE: [WSG] IE7 Flash The same thing happens in IE 6.

RE: [WSG] IE7 Flash
The same thing happens in IE 6. Our team was just discussing how to let our learners know they need to click twice for some of our training. It is confusing to some people. A couple of people have asked me about it. If there is an answer, I'd love to pass it along.
