Actually, on the topic of the "movie" param... turns out it does break Safari. Just tested this on a page, and Safari would load if the movie param were only in the outer object, but if all i did was move it to the inner object, it would fail to load the movie. And yes, it had the exact same URL as the "data" attribute.
So, this shorter syntax works fine, but with the caveat that the "movie" param must only be in the outer object. --Kyle On Dec 8, 3:57 pm, raider5 <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > Thanks for the responses.
