@Ken While we appeciate people helping others on the list, your statements and code just is not correct at all! What you ahve posted will steer pople in the wrong direction. All SWFObject includes and code declarations should be placed within the <head>.
SWFObject code *SHOULD NEVER* be placed within the element you are replacing! I think you should re-examine the documentation and code generator, as it places all the code exactly where is should: http://www.bobbyvandersluis.com/swfobject/generator/index.html Based on Gwenh's original post it should look like: <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" " http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd";> <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; lang="en" xml:lang="en"> <head> <title></title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" /> <script type="text/javascript" src="swfobject.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript"> var flashvars = {}; var params = {}; var attributes = {}; swfobject.embedSWF("Everyday_Women.swf", "myContent", "495", "330", "9.0.0", "expressInstall.swf", flashvars, params, attributes); </script> </head> <body> <div id="myContent"> <a href="http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer";> <img src=" http://www.adobe.com/images/shared/download_buttons/get_flash_player.gif"; alt="Get Adobe Flash player" /> </a> </div> </body> </html> @Gwenh - please post your page, as I don;t see anything immediately wrong with your code snippet - just a quick pointer on using the generator - unless you need to set a param definitively, leave it blank. SWFObject has defaults which cover the most used param values. Aran On Mon, Jul 13, 2009 at 12:17 PM, Ken Hackenberg <[email protected]> wrote: > Your code is inserted incorrectly.
